For your cultural life in Hiroshima

刺し子 Sashiko Garments made of one or more layers of indigo-dyed hemp or cotton fabric can be quilted in the sashiko style in various patterns for the purposes of mending, reinforcement, warmth, or decoration. Also, a style of weaving exists that is in imitation of sashiko stitching. Originally, simple running stitches were made in straight lines to reinforce areas of work garments, clothes, and rags that were prone to wear. Later, as the decorative element became increasingly important, the stitches became more elaborate with each region of developing distinct designs. Sashiko stitching runs in all directions, attaching two layers of fabric so that the front and reverse sides show the same patterns. Although since the Meiji period (A.D. 1868-1912) mass- produced fabrics have become more accessible and the need to recycle fabrics has virtually disappeared, the decorative use of sashiko has survived under the influence of the mingei (folk crafts) movement led by Muneyoshi Yanagi (aka Soetsu Yanagi) (Abstracted from Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, pp. 1319-1320, Kodansha) Sashiko is a traditional embroidery technique of northern Japan. As sashiko’s simple patterns go with various things, many people enjoy sashiko stitching on everyday items such as place mats, coasters, book covers and so on. Many sashiko design books are published not only in Japan, but overseas. Also, sashiko kits are sold at craft stores, so you can easily enjoy sashiko at home. Why not try to make your own sashiko item?

Garbage Disposal Information Separate garbage properly and take it to the collection site by 8:30am on the designated day. Please do NOT take garbage to the site on the night before. Garbage collection days vary depending on where you live and the category of the refuse. For further details, consult your local ward office or your neighbors to be sure of the proper disposal method. “Hiroshima 8”, a handbook on how to separate garbage, and “Hiroshima City Garbage Disposal Guidelines for the 2015 fiscal year”, a garbage chart with schedules of garbage collection days, are available at ward offices, branch offices and community halls. The Handbook and Guidelines are translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean. These are also available at the International Exchange Lounge (International Conference Center Hiroshima), so please ask the staff if you need them.
