Embracing diversity through Crochet
Embracing diversity through Crochet As a veterinarian and a crocheter; from suture needle to crochet hook, and pipette to knitting needle. What can I anticipate when passion and hobby align. The tale of Jindaiji temple must be true. At Jindaiji temple, I had fortune to treasure friendships with four ladies. Our linguistic, national, religious, and educational backgrounds differ significantly. Fascinatingly, we have stories to listen from individuals as young as 25 to as elderly as 70. As we savored the soba noodles, we also discussed our homeland. At that moment, I could sense cosiness emanating from everyone's faces. I therefore assumed that having this flag would bring some warmth. So, to embrace this bond till Ginkgo lives; under the Ginkgo trees, I prepared crochet flags that honors my friends' nations. P.S. This art and essay was honoured with “GlobE Visions Award” by the Center for Global Education, The University of Tokyo.
