Embroidered by multigenerational women in Japan and Nikkei (Japanese American) women in the US during World War II, Senninbari, or “One Thousand Stitch Belts,” were gifted to men who joined the army and left for battle, as a talisman to come back alive. As communal stitching projects practiced during a time of conflict, they took on significant social, cultural, and political meaning. Endorsed as “patriotic”, Senninbari also embodied the silent protest Japanese women, both in Japan, and also by the nikkei community in America.
