  • The Art of Sashiko May 21, 2025

    Sashiko (刺し子) is a traditional Japanese form of decorative reinforcement stitching, which literally means “little stabs” or “little pierce.” Originally developed in rural Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868), Sashiko was both a practical and aesthetic craft used primarily by working-class families.

    Sashiko started as a functional embroidery technique. Farmers and fishermen would layer fabrics and stitch them together with simple running stitches to:

    • Reinforce worn-out clothes
    • Repair holes and extend garment life
    • Insulate fabric for warmth
    • Save materials through recycling

    It was sustainability before sustainability became a buzzword.

    Though practical, Sashiko evolved into an artistic expression. It’s known for its:

    • Geometric patterns: Grids, waves (seigaiha), hemp leaves (asanoha), interlocking circles (shippō), etc.
    • Contrasting colors: Traditional Sashiko is often white cotton thread on deep indigo-dyed fabric.
    • Repetitive, meditative designs: The rhythmic stitching creates a zen-like experience for the maker.
    • Thread: Thick white cotton Sashiko thread (not embroidery floss—no sheen).
    • Needles: Long, strong Sashiko needles with a small eye.
    • Thimble: Often worn on the palm, not the finger, to push the needle through tough fabric.
    • Fabric: Traditionally indigo-dyed cotton, but modern artists experiment with linen, denim, and more.
