Stitched Up! From Sashiko to Manga
The World of Sashiko, 30 June 2009 org
To celebrate the first major museum exhibition of Sashiko textiles in the UK and the launch of the innovative book Manga Cross-Stitch, the Japan Foundation presents two very special events looking at textiles and needlework.
The World of Sashiko
Lecture by Michele Walker
30 June 2009, from 6.30pm
DONZA sashiko detail, Fukuoka City Museum
DONZA sashiko detail, Fukuoka City Museum
Sashiko is a traditional sewing technique of Japan, similar to quilting, and characterised by geometric patterns of white stitching on indigo coloured cloth. In this illustrative lecture, Textile Artist and Researcher, Michele Walker, will explore the significance and uniqueness of Sashiko textiles in a cultural and historical context, looking at the technical aspects of how they are produced, as well as their social bearing. At a critical time, when the last generation of traditional Japanese Sashiko makers and their skills are being lost, this is a very timely opportunity to find out more about this traditional craft, now classed as Mingei, and its very special place in Japanese heritage.
This event is free to attend.
Venue: The Japan Foundation, London

10-12 Russell Square
