Semamori Workshop Saturday, March 18 (2023)

Semamori(背守り) means “Back Protection” in Japanese, and — like sashiko — dates back to the Edo era (1603-1868).

In those days, children’s kimonos had fewer seams than adult ones, specifically in the back area. For this reason, children are considered more vulnerable to attacks by evil spirits. Japanese mothers embroidered these protective talismans on the backs of their children’s kimonos so that they would grow up healthy and happy.

The traditionally represented motifs are inspired by natural motifs, family crests and cosmic geometry, among others.

We will learn the symbology and message hidden in this art, embroidering with threads brought from Japan and dyed with plants and lands from Aletheia.
