Inspired by the timeless Shochikubai motif, this elegant placemat celebrates the beauty of pine, bamboo and plum blossom—three plants treasured in Japan as symbols of resilience, longevity and new beginnings.
Pre-stencilled on traditional Japanese sarashi cotton, the printed markings disappear with the first wash. Wonderfully absorbent, practical and durable, this handmade placemat will soften beautifully with every use.
Our extensive range of single-coloured and variegated sashiko threads enables you to create many unique colour and design variations which can be used simply as designed as a placemat or or table runner, or you could use the design to create the perfect sized cushions, some unique wall art, a bag, incorporate in a quilt or a garment, eg a jacket.
