Sashiko, a traditional form of embroidery long passed down in Japan, is created by stitching white thread onto indigo cloth as if drawing lines. Its simple yet beautiful technique was born from the practical wisdom of ordinary people in their everyday lives.
The origins of sashiko date back to the early 16th century—around 500 years ago. Because examples of this stitching can be found across Japan, its exact birthplace is unknown; however, sashiko from the Tohoku region is especially well known.
It is said to have begun as a way to add warmth and reinforcement to clothing in order to withstand the region’s severe cold.

Shippō refers to the “seven treasures.” These seven treasures are listed as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, giant clam shell, coral, and agate.

It carries an auspicious meaning of unbroken connections and lasting happiness, wishing that bonds will never be broken and a fulfilled state will continue forever.

It carries the wish that the child will grow straight and strong like hemp, and also live a life connected with many people. For this reason, it was used for babies’ ceremonial clothing.

This pattern represents everlasting peace and harmony, and symbolizes treasures spreading endlessly throughout the world and prosperity continuing for generations.

Because it depicts gentle waves stretching endlessly into the distance, this pattern conveys the wish for a peaceful and calm life to continue forever.
