Third place went to an anonymous poem written by Riikka Uhlig. The concise poem about farewells creates strong images and attacks the larger picture. The conversational situation is outlined with just a few straight lines. The poem still does not explain itself to the end or is not fully understood. Repetition creates the rhythm of a beating heart in the text, and a line resembling a cardiogram or, on the other hand, barbed wire drawn over a prison fence splits the text, dividing it into two.
In 1975, a home industry advisory station was established in Juva, the activities of which were organized by the Mikkeli Home Industry Association. At that time, the location was a house called Kotila on the Savonlinna road opposite Hildur. Juva wanted its own national costume and one was obtained at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s. The chronicle written by Hillevi Valkonen tells the story of telegram number database the origin of the costume at the end of the article on national costume. The home industry advisory station moved from Kotila to Tiirikainen's house (Juvantie 24) in the early 1980s. The house was nicknamed after the tailor Tiirikainen who worked there.
The advisors changed frequently until Marjo Kaartinen started working at the Juva handicraft advisory station in Tiirikainen's house in early June 1989 and stayed for a long time. At that time, the activities focused almost entirely on weaving advice. There were at most fifteen looms. Among others, members of the folk costume circle of the community college wove their national costume fabric in Tiirikainen's house. Occasionally, short courses and sewing advice were offered, and fabrics were also for sale. Exhibitions and workshop events such as fabric printing were organized.
