JPN: Cute Amulet Embroideries on the Children's Back of Kimonos

All parents wish for the safe growth of their children. In the past, infant mortality rates were high due to diseases and accidents. In Japan, parents who hope for the healthy growth of their children and combat the dangers of raising children safely, would sew protective stitches on the back of their kimonos under the pretence that malevolent creatures would harm children from the back.
In this book, traditional patterns such as hemp leaves, and tops, along with original designs suitable for small items like T-shirts and bags, are given the spotlight.
