@silentwave.indigo: Discover Hishizashi Kogin stitching with me ✨🧵 Lately I’ve been exploring Hishizashi Kogin and Kogin in general, a traditional Japanese stitching technique that sits somewhere between Sashiko embroidery and counted thread work 🪡 It’s built on an even weave fabric, where stitches are carefully placed to create rhythmic, geometric patterns. Like many Japanese textile techniques, it was originally developed to strengthen fabric while adding subtle beauty, it’s all practical, precise, and deeply thoughtful and I’m in love with yet another Japanese craft ☺️💙 What I love about it is the balance: structure and freedom at the same time. Once you understand the rhythm, the patterns almost start to build themselves ✨ On another note, how blue is that blue?! This piece is a belt and I’ve embroidered it on a nice linen cloth I’ve dyed with natural Indigo and I keep being amazed at the intensity of the indigo color 💙 A simple stitch, repeated with intention, can create something incredibly rich in texture and movement ✨ Wishing you all a creative week! 🤗 . . . . #sashiko #kogin #textileart #handembroidery #sashikostitching
