On November 12, 2017, we were invited to “Kiryu Shoshihide’s Japan Record Achievement Meeting” held at Toyo University.
As a souvenir of achievement of the new record, the Kiryu Tourism Association and the Kiryu Regional Product Promotion Association gave Sukajan who was embroidered with Kiryu City’s embroidery artist Kiyomi Osawa from Mayor Kiryu!

Kiyomi Osawa is an embroidery artist from Kiryu. In 1996 he was awarded the Huangjin Prize and he is active as a contemporary masterpiece.
Sukajan was made much as a souvenir of the stationed army after the Second World War. Many are made in Kiryu who accumulated technologies such as weaving, sewing and embroidery, sometimes called birthplace.
