Synopsis

Kogin-zashi is presented here as a distinctive style of sashiko, valued for its function as much as its beauty. Clear photography and step-by-step visual guidance lead readers through the process of creating projects using Kogin-zashi stitching, with an emphasis on building the work stitch by stitch.

With colour illustrations throughout, the book also introduces kogin embroidery as a form of sashiko suited to embellishing both wearables and everyday objects. It is written for readers who want to learn and practise this stitching approach through visually led instruction.
