Discover the true meaning of Sashiko beyond the stitches.

I thought I was picking up a book about Sashiko techniques and patterns, but Sashiko: The Untold Story turned out to be something far more special - by the final page, Sashiko no longer feels like a technique but an old friend; a beautiful and unforgettable read.Anastasia Zhelezniak, Whynotstitching

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.
