Sashiko originates from ancient times, when the fabric was made by hand and was very expensive. Then this embroidery technique was used to sew several layers of thin fabric to make the cloth more durable and warm. Gradually, the practical and simple stitches evolved into rhythmic patterns, and over time, sashiko came to be considered a separate type of embroidery art. Like any kind of Japanese art or needlework, sashiko is a striking example of the combination of beauty and practicality. And, as in any ancient art, the main motifs and patterns play a symbolic or even mystical role. Thus, the pattern of kikko, or "turtle shell", is considered a symbol of longevity.
