AlbakiReads Editorial A project-based guide to kogin and hishizashi sashiko
A project-based guide to kogin and hishizashi sashiko
Keiko Sakamoto introduces kogin and hishizashi, two traditional counted-sashiko embroidery forms associated with northern Japan. The book combines practical instruction with visual context: 31 projects progress from a bookmark to wall tapestries, each supported by step-by-step photographs and arranged across increasing difficulty levels. Vintage examples place the techniques alongside their historical craft tradition, while the substantial pattern collection—80 kogin and 200 hishizashi templates—gives stitchers material to revisit beyond the included projects. It is structured as both an introduction to these distinct methods and a working pattern resource for counted embroidery.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Sashiko stitchers seeking to explore kogin and hishizashi
- Embroiderers who value step-by-step project instruction
- Crafters looking for an extensive library of traditional pattern templates
