The Shippō Tsunagi pattern is one of the oldest motifs in Sashiko embroidery.
Its name translates as “The Seven Treasured Jewels of the Buddha” and refers to precious gifts such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli and pearls.
The geometric structure embodies the idea of perfect balance: each line is of equal importance and contributes to the whole. It is a symbol of happiness, harmony and the eternal cycle of life.
