As Sashiko grows in popularity around the world, its history and meaning are often overlooked. In Sashiko: The Untold Story, Japanese Sashiko artisan Atsushi Futatsuya shares a richer understanding of this traditional craft, revealing the culture, philosophy and everyday practices behind the stitches.
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.
