Abstract

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique born from a way of life that values things and the wisdom of living in harmony with nature. It is characterised by its simple, strong and beautiful designs.
This book is a collection of sashiko works, focusing on traditional patterns. The book introduces a wide range of items, from simple items that can be easily stitched by beginners to more challenging items, such as kitchen cloths and small sacks. The warmth of handmade work can be felt in the simple colours and designs of indigo and raw silk.
You will lose yourself in the stitching and lose track of time. Enjoy the original beauty of stitch by stitch.
