- While machine washing sashiko fabric is possible, it is recommended to wash this product separately.





What is Sashiko?
A traditional Japanese stitching technique used to reinforce and insulate clothing. In the Tohoku region during the Edo period, cotton threads were used to fill the gaps in hemp fabric to withstand the cold.

During that time in Edo, there were many fires, and sashiko fabric was used as "firefighter clothing" to protect against sparks. Due to its durability and impact resistance, it is also used in judo and kendo uniforms.





Japanese-Style Light Outerwear
The unique design of this item is attractive with a Japanese feel like a hanten (a traditional Japanese half coat).





Seam pockets are provided on both sides without interfering with the design.





Overall, it has a moderately relaxed silhouette. It can be casually worn like a light outerwear or cardigan, exuding a stylish atmosphere.
