■Product Details■

This Japanese-language book is a comprehensive collection of textile crafts and creative clothing made from vintage Japanese fabrics. It features a wide range of projects including patchwork, sakiori (woven rag fabric), fabric art, sashiko embroidery, chirimen crafts (crepe fabric handiwork), and original clothing designs—all highlighting the beauty and versatility of antique textiles.

Showcased are works made with faded yet beautiful old fabrics from the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods. Alongside the artists’ heartfelt stories, this book celebrates the charm and creative potential of these traditional materials.

Special features include the history of sashiko, beloved classic patterns, and modern sashiko styles. The collection of Mitsuko Suzuki from the popular shop "Kofu Moya" (Antique Fabric Main House) is also presented, complete with a basic how-to guide for kogin sashiko embroidery.

Perfect for crafters, textile enthusiasts, and lovers of Japanese culture, this volume offers inspiration and practical techniques rooted in Japan’s rich textile heritage.
