Embroidery crafts

Teaches two beautiful Japanese sashiko styles not found in other books: kogin and hishizashi.

Sashiko's beauty is understandably popular, and here's the first book on stitching two little-known traditional styles: kogin and hishizashi.

Japanese expert Keiko Sakamoto-who began her intensive study of them while living in the American Midwest-explains these intriguing decorative embroidery styles.

. 31 projects, with step-by-step photo instructions, range from a simple bookmark to advanced wall tapestries

. Increasing project difficulty levels satisfy both novices and experienced sashiko stitchers

. Photos of vintage pieces, many rarely seen outside museums, showcase the craft's origins in northern Japan

. For ongoing reference and use, includes one of the most extensive libraries of traditional kogin and hishizashi pattern templates to be found anywhere (80 and 200 templates, respectively)

AUTHOR: Keiko Sakamoto learned Japanese needlework from a traditional kimono maker in Tokyo, and for the past 20 years, while living in the United States and in Japan, she has been making and researching Japanese sashiko embroidery and promoting traditional Japanese needlework at her Aya Sashiko Studio. She lives in a small town in the mountains of central Japan. www.aya-studio.com
