senninbari
A or Thousand stitch belt is a strip of cloth, approximately one metre in length, decorated with 1000 stitches each made by a different woman,〔("Senninbari (Thousand Stitch Belts)" ), "Nambu World"
〕 given as an amulet by women to soldiers on their way to war as a part of the Shinto culture of Imperial Japan.
==Construction, and types==
Senninbari were most commonly made from white cloth, but yellow, red, green, and blue were also used. Stitches were usually red, but again a range of other colours were sometimes used. The stitches were usually arranged in multiple rows but might also be placed in patterns creating images of flags, patriotic slogans and tigers. The most common slogan was ''bu-un cho-kyu'' for "eternal good luck in war". Tigers were popular as they were known to be able to roam far away from home and then return safely.
Senninbari took various forms including ''hachimaki'' (headbands), belts, vests, and caps. Rare forms of senninbari take the form of good luck flags. Senninbari made to be worn around the waist, as the majority were, were called ''senninbari-haramaki'' (a haramaki or abdomen belt is traditionally worn in Japan to help maintain good health). These belts generally measure about 6 inches high by 31-36 inches long+/-. Some of these belts were called "tiger belts", if embroidered in the image of a tiger.
