Abstract: Through the hands-on creation of two sashiko pieces of work - a counted thread kogin bookmark and a single running stitched hitomezashi sampler - participants will explore not only the living cultural history of this traditional Japanese needlework but will also experience the mathematics of sashiko in a tangible form, and will take away with them items of simple beauty.<br />Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, workshop paper intended for Bridges Math Art conference 2020
