Sashiko was a centuries old Japanese embroidery technique utilizing thick yarns to reinforce points of strain on a garment. It was reinvented as a durable fabric with a textured face that was first used for firefighters and then martial artists. Today, the fabric has been refined, modernized and combined with indigo dying techniques.
