SHONAI SASHIKO BY YUICHI ONODERA - Video

SHONAI SASHIKO BY YUICHI ONODERA

The vertical, horizontal, and diagonal stitches in Shonai Sashiko create geometrical patterns, making for a beautiful and strong fabric.
There are about 40 different basic patterns including Kome-sashi (rice pattern ), Uroko-sashi(scale pattern), Hishi-sashi(rhomb pattern) and Soroban-sashi (abacus pattern), which can indicate many things such as women's wish for good harvest, large catch, business prosperity and affection toward their family members. The traditional methods are upheld, sewing stitch by stitch on a blue cloth with unbleached white threads. These works have recently received high praise for their heartwarming beauty.
