“Kogin” embroidery

Aomori’s Traditional Handicrafts

Aomori’s Traditional Handicrafts
Aomori, Japan

“Kogin” embroidery is known for its hand stitching technique, in which white cotton thread is stitched through each hole of the indigo-colored fabric.
Today, either wool or cotton is used depending on the function, and as the colors available and the times have changed, the color scheme has increased as well. This beautiful and simple geometric pattern, which continues to be created by hand and stitch by stich, has become a symbol of the strength and delicateness of the women of the northern country.
