Sashiko - Sashiko

Japanese: 刺子 - さしこ
Sashiko - Sashiko

Garments made of overlapping fabrics and finely stitched, or sashiko-ori (a floating weave with an appearance similar to sashiko). It started out as repairing parts of the original fabric by sewing or mending, but eventually parts of the fabric that were badly damaged, such as the shoulders and chest, were repaired decoratively from the beginning. Sashikogin in the Tohoku region is one example, and examples of garments with a strong decorative tendency include Toyama Kesa. The general stitching method is to use thread of the same or opposite color as the fabric, stitching along the weave of the fabric, or diagonally or in a sash direction. When the stitch density increases, the appearance is almost the same as sewn twill. Currently, it is used for work clothes, kendo uniforms, firefighter uniforms, etc.

Japanese:

布地に重ね合わせて、細かく刺し縫いにした衣服、または刺子織(刺子のように外観を似せ、浮織としたもの)でつくった衣服。もと布地を部分的にかがったり、繕ったりして補修することから始まったが、やがて破損の激しい肩・胸などの部分を初めから装飾的に補修しておくようになった。東北地方の刺しこぎんがそれで、装飾的傾向が強く押し出されたものに遠山袈裟(けさ)などがある。一般的な刺し方は、布地と同色か、あるいは反対色の刺し糸で、織物組織に沿って刺すか、斜め方角、襷(たすき)方向に刺すことが多い。刺す密度が高くなると外観上はほとんど縫取綾(あや)と変わらないようになる。現在では仕事着、剣道着、消防着などに用いられている。
