【DESCRIPTION】
Title Kogin embroidery
Supervising Editor Misao Kimura
Publication year 1960
Of course, out of print This is the first time I have ever come across Kogin Embroidery book.Extremely Rare book.
Have you ever heard of Kogin Embroidery(Kogin Zashi)?
During the Edo Period (1603-1867), farmers did not wear clothes made of cotton; instead, they wore layers of clothes made from hemp to withstand the cold. The women from the farming villages then began to stitch cotton thread into the hemp cloth in necessary places to reinforce the fabric and keep the body warm. The product of these women’s knowledge, those who made a living amongst the harsh nature of the northern country, can be seen today through “kogin” embroidery.
“Kogin” embroidery is known for its hand stitching technique, in which white cotton thread is stitched through each hole of the indigo-coloured fabric. Today, either wool or cotton is used depending on the function, and as the colours available and the times have changed, the colour scheme has increased as well. This beautiful and simple geometric pattern, which continues to be created by hand and stitch-by-stitch, has become a symbol of the strength and delicateness of the women of the northern country.
Kogin Embroidery is designated as Traditional Craft Work in Aomori Prefecture.One of Traditional Craft Works representaive of Japan.
