About this activity

Step into a small craft shop in the picturesque Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter and experience the quiet beauty of sashiko stitching.

Using high-quality denim from Kojima, Japan’s famous denim town, you will learn simple sashiko stitches and create your own piece with hand-dyed threads.

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese stitching technique that has been practiced for centuries.

As you stitch slowly, one stitch at a time, many people find the process calming and meditative.

Enjoy a peaceful and creative moment while discovering Japanese craft culture.
