In Sashiko: The Untold Story, Japanese Sashiko artisan Atsushi Futatsuya shares a richer understanding of this traditional craft, revealing the culture, philosophy and everyday practices behind the stitches.
Raised in a third-generation Sashiko family in Japan, Atsushi combines personal stories, historical insight and practical knowledge to explore Sashiko beyond its patterns and techniques. Through beautiful photography, illustrations and conversations with fellow artisans, he uncovers the values and wisdom that have shaped the practice for generations.
