Japanese Fishermen's Coats from Awaji Island
June 29 - September 2, 2001
Sashiko stitching both embellished and strengthened textiles in rural
Japan. On the island of Awaji, this simple running stitch in white
thread was elaborated into beautiful and intricate geometric patterns
that adorned fishermen's coats, called donza. The exhibition focuses
on the unique group of coats on this small island, offering a special
opportunity to investigate this embroidery tradition closely in terms
of its context, distinctive iconography, and technology. Over 20
sashiko no donza are featured, along with artifacts and photographs
that illustrate life in Awaji fishing villages during the late 19th
century. The exhibition was organized and produced by the UCLA Fowler
Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles and the University Art Museum,
University of California, Santa Barbara.
Educational programming in conjunction with this exhibition include a
tea ceremony and a sashiko workshop.
