On February 8th every year there is a ceremony where Japanese tailors, needlewomen, seamstresses, kimono makers, and of course quilters and us who love embroidery, say thanks to old and broken pins and sewing needles. How? By sticking them into a big block of tofu at a Buddhist temple.
This picture is from the blogpost I wrote last year:
This year Hari-Kuyo fell on a Sunday and I took part despite the snow and cold.

There you are! And I like your coat, so warm.
Such a good way to remind us of the importance of our tools...
It is lovely to see a photo of you! That is a fun ceremony!
