A large area is filled with \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKomezashi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, using multiple colors of Sashiko Thread to create layers of geometric patterns. The other areas feature traditional geometric Sashiko patterns, creating a contrast between dense Komezashi and flowing geometric stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery stitch is done by hand. The differences in rhythm, density, and color are part of the process of continuously stitching the Denim—not simply decorating its surface, but adding thread and strength to the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of a kind.

All of the stitches are secured by overlay stitches rather than knots. With repeated washing and use, the threads and fabric will settle together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter you confirm that the threads do not fray or come loose—for example, after about 10 washes—you may machine-wash the Denim on a gentle setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf naturally dyed Sashiko Threads are used, please use a neutral detergent. Please never use bleach or detergent containing bleach or similar bleaching agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAtsushi’s Dream\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAtsushi has a dream of one day having an exhibition together with his fellow Sashiko friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSashiko Denim—Denim Pants stitched extensively through continuous practice—is one of the forms in which this dream takes shape.
