Hyottoko (火男) is a comical Japanese character, portrayed through the use of a mask. His mouth is puckered and skewed to one side. Some masks have different eye sizes between the left and right eyes. He is often wearing a scarf around his head (usually white with blue dots).

Sashiko pre-printed samplers have wash-out stitching lines.  

Do not pre-wash. The fabric measures 12.75" x 12.75" (31 cm x 31 cm) folded in half.  100% cotton fabric.  Instructions are in Japanese and English with easy to follow diagrams.  Needles and thread are not included.

The design is printed on one half of the sampler.  The other half of the sampler has no design.  Use the plain half as the backing for a pillow or other project, draw your own design on the second half or leave plain.

Stitch through both layers for a little heavier fabric if using for a quilt square.  In Japan, the samplers are stitched through both layers, hemmed and use for tea towels or table decorations.
