Unused vintage fukin (cleaning cloths) with simple sashiko.

Late Meiji Era Shōnai sashiko sorihikihappi (sled-hauling waistcoat), with protective shoulder patch and front band in kakinohanazashi (persimmon flower stitch). The extra band, fastened with buttons, and patch protected the garment from wear by the sled strap. Women made a new sorihikihappi for their husbands at New Year, with an elaborate design showing the family’s status. Decorative sashiko like this was made for best. It is rare for us to know the identity of the stitcher – this was made by the Sasaki family’s great grandmother.
