Year of the Snake Sashiko at the Portland Japanese Garden

  • Portland Japanese Garden 611 Southwest Kingston Avenue Portland, OR, 97205 United States (map)

Sashiko (刺し子), literally “little stabs”, is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching using a running stitch technique. It is now famed worldwide for its striking traditional indigo-and-white color scheme and complex decorative patterns. In celebration of 2025, the year of the snake, this workshop will feature a new sashiko project designed especially for this textile series. According to folklore, people born under this zodiac sign are determined, wise, and fortunate in money matters.
