Japanese Stitching Art: Sashiko.

Explore the intricate beauty of Sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that originated in Japan's Edo period. 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. Today, Sashiko embellishes fabrics like clothing, table linens, and wall art, preserving Japan’s enduring heritage.
