The first book with comprehensive pattern templates for both kogin and hishizashi methods of sashiko
Sashiko's beauty is understandably popular, and this is the first book on stitching two little-known traditional styles: kogin and hishizashi.
Japanese expert Keiko Sakamoto—who began her intensive study of them while living in the American Midwest—explains these intriguing decorative embroidery styles. Book highlights include:
• 31 projects, with step-by-step photo instructions, range from a simple bookmark to advanced wall tapestries
• Increasing project difficulty levels satisfy both novices and experienced sashiko stitchers
• Photos of vintage pieces, many rarely seen outside museums, showcase the craft's origins in northern Japan
• One of the most extensive libraries of traditional kogin and hishizashi pattern templates to be found anywhere (80 and 200 templates, respectively), for ongoing reference and use
This book shares authentic Japanese folk patterns with embroidery enthusiasts, quilters, knitters, and weavers, and inspires with stunning photographs of the embroidery on rarely seen vintage kimono.

Keiko Sakamoto learned Japanese needlework from a traditional kimono maker in Tokyo, and for the past 20 years, while living in the United States and in Japan, she has been making and researching Japanese sashiko embroidery and promoting traditional Japanese needlework at her Aya Sashiko Studio. She lives in a small town in the mountains of central Japan. www.aya-studio.com
