Originally developed to reinforce and patch fabric, Sashiko has evolved into a revered art form, known for its striking, geometric patterns and simple running stitches. This delicate yet durable technique reflects Japan's resourceful craftsmanship, creating designs that embody both function and aesthetic charm.
