quote
People often refer to Sashiko embroidery as Japanese embroidery.
And while both terms have the word embroidery in them, as a native of Japan and instructor of traditional Sashiko design, I would like to take the time to explain the distinction between the two.
Sashiko embroidery is a very old and classical form of hand sewing using simple running stitches. The Japanese word Sashiko means "little stabs". Sashiko was born from the necessity of conserving and repairing garments at a time when cloth was not widely available to farmers and fishermen.
Japanese embroidery (nihon shishu in Japanese) is an embroidery technique that goes back more than one thousand years. It uses intricate patterning, silken and golden threads, and traditional symbolic motifs worked on fine silk fabrics. In its early stages, and in contrast to the functional aspect of Sashiko embroidery, Japanese embroidery was reserved for decorating items used during religious ceremonies.
