A unique book that conquered craftswomen from around the world, translated into many languages and has become an unconditional bestseller in many countries! The most understandable and colorful manual for everyone who wants to master the traditional Japanese embroidery of Sashiko and create stylish masterpieces with their own hands!
Sashiko originates since ancient times, when the fabric was performed manually and has been very expensive. Then this embroidery technique was used to sew several layers of thin fabric to make the canvas more durable and warm. Gradually, practical and simple stitches turned into rhythmic patterns, and over time, Sashiko began to be considered a separate form of embroidery art.
Like any type of Japanese art or needlework, Sashiko is a vivid example of a combination of beauty and practicality. And as in any ancient art, the main motives and patterns play a symbolic or even mystical role. So, the Kikko pattern, or the "shell of the turtle", is considered a symbol of longevity. And Seigaykh’s sea waves, composed of fan -shaped elements, symbolizing the raising and running waves - brings good luck by belief.
Numerous projects-Axuals presented in the book will show a variety of methods of practical application of this wonderful embroidery in life.
In Japanese, scrupulous and detailed descriptions and instructions, clear schemes - all this will become a real master of Sashiko to anyone, even with only the initial embroidery skills.
Expand for yourself the most modern trend of ancient art!
