Groups like "Fenggong Associations" (the basic level organizational unit for mobilizing the Taiwanese) were set up on each street, and committee members urged women who were passing by to sew "thousand-stitch cloths" (traditional Japanese amulets to help soldiers remain safe) to send to Japanese men at the front.
街上出現了如奉公會（戰時日本動員台人的基層組織）的會員，勸說過往婦人縫「千人針」（類似護身符，讓戰士帶出去保平安）；跟日本人一樣，一些台灣人也被徵調入伍。
