Sashiko — the 300-year-old Japanese stitching technique — is becoming increasingly popular in the West. A fisherman's jacket from the 1800s was even shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier this year, which writer Bel Jacobs says would have astonished the garment's makers, since the craft originated in poor areas. She interviewed experts for the BBC about why sashiko is becoming trendy, and how to learn it.
