In the Edo period, farmers in Tsugaru, who were only allowed to wear hemp kimonos,
sought to make the harsh and long winters more bearable by reinforcing and moisturizing their hemp cloth.
They began to add sashiko stitching with cotton threads,
eventually leading to the creation of 'Tsugaru Kogin-zashi'.

This technique, which involves counting odd numbers of warp threads
— one, three, five, seven, etc.—
to stitch, developed mainly around Hirosaki.
