"Bead sashiko" is a technique that uses bamboo beads and embroidery thread to create sashiko patterns.

It has been attracting attention both in Japan and overseas as a new handicraft that allows you to enjoy the combination of the presence of beads and the delicacy of embroidery thread through traditional patterns.

This book is a sample book of ideas that includes the basic stitching method of bead sashiko and many different stitch arrangements.

The basic stitching page explains how to copy a pattern, how to thread beads onto a needle, and how to embroider, while the arrangement page features samplers of stitch arrangements based on the basic stitching method. It contains many ideas that can be used as reference when creating, such as how to combine beads and embroidery threads unique to Professor Yonenaga, how to create patterns, and how to match colors.

Bead sashiko does not require difficult techniques because it is stitched one stitch at a time in a straight line. The bamboo beads and embroidery thread, which are the materials, can be purchased at craft stores and 100 yen shops, so it is easy to obtain even in areas where there are no craft stores nearby. It is a handicraft that beginners should try.
Depending on how you combine beads and embroidery thread, the stitches, patterns, and works will vary widely, so try to find the combination you like and have fun.
