What is "sashiko"?

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique characterized by its use of simple, running stitches to create intricate patterns, often in geometric shapes. The technique originally served practical purposes, such as reinforcing fabric or mending clothing, but has evolved into a decorative art form. Sashiko patterns are usually stitched with white thread on indigo-dyed fabric, although variations exist. The technique is known for its precision and the way it creates a visually striking contrast, adding both beauty and durability to the fabric.
