      A Variety of Tortoiseshell Patterns

      Tortoiseshell patterns are symbolic of longevity and can be seen in a number of classic sashiko designs. A hexagonal

       shape with a single stitch “horn” forms the Tsuno-Kikkō motif, combining two hexagons of varying size becomes

       the Kasane-Kikko, and surrounding three small hexagons with a triangle results in the Musubi-Kikkō design.

      Bishamon “Good Luck” Patterns

      Bishamon is a deity of good fortune (one of seven deities) and this motif was taken from his armor and resembles

       a tortoiseshell design. The hexagonal tortoiseshell design is said to have been taken from the armor of Bishamon, a

       deity of good fortune. Maru-Bishamon is a version of this motif that incorporates curves lines, which is considered

       even more auspicious.

      Repetitive Puzzle Motifs

      By alternating the direction of the 卍 (Manji), a puzzle-like motif develops. Igeta refers to the wooden frame atop a well

       that inspired the Hiyoku-Igeta design. Two thread colors are used for this Hiyoku-Igeta project.
