Product description

Hiroshima Needles: High-quality needles born from 300 years of tradition

Hiroshima is proud to be the largest producer of hand-sewing needles and marking pins in Japan. The history of Hiroshima Needles dates back over 300 years when the Lord Asano (who ruled the region) introduced needlework as a way for low-ranking samurai to support themselves. Ever since, with the introduction of improvements to quality and more efficient means of production, Hiroshima Needles have become known as a distinct local industry. Tulip has further developed traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation to create needles with easy-to-thread eyes, a smooth body that doesn't bend easily, and a point which moves through fabric smoothly.
