Illustration: Beside a low table in a Japanese living room, a parent repairs a split seam in a child’s cloth rabbit. One hand holds the fabric edges together while the other draws a threaded needle through them. A short line of fresh stitches closes the opening, with a little stuffing still visible farther along.
