Boro.

atsushijp, 2018年8月25日

Boro.
We “Make” Boro piece by patching and repairing the small Japanese vintage fabric, which can be in a trash bin because they are too small. The vintage fabric gets so small after washing them. We sometimes call it “fresh Boro” since it doesn’t smell or dirty
★
There are many explanation made by experts why the Boro piece, which means a piece of badly torn yet repaired fabric, is so beautiful. We believe a Boro piece is so beautiful because it is the result of caring the others. Not only the positive feeling of Love, a person probably cared the others by negative feelings. All of the feelings can be layered and stitched into the fabric. Therefore, it is beautiful.
★
We try to create the similar piece of Boro by layering our passions and hopes.
★
布と対話し、時代と空間を超越して「補修する」人と思いを重ねる。少し怪しい表現ですが、襤褸と向き合っていると、そんな瞬間があるのです。「あ〜。昔の人もこうやって布と思いを重ねていたのかなぁ」と。
★
襤褸の美しさには様々な説明がなされていますが、個人的には、この「重なった思い」がアートとしての価値を高めていると思っています。だから、美しさを感じる襤褸の中には、怖れ(畏れ)を感じてしまうものも。
★
Sashi.Coでは、一度全ての襤褸を洗い、汚れと埃と、んでもって少しだけ重なりすぎた思いを流し落として、更に思いを重ねています。新しい襤褸……とは言い過ぎだとは思いますが、普段使いできる不思議な襤褸を心かげています。

The days of being under the weather continue. I am feeling okay, but I lost my voice this morning (my vocal code isn’t working well, I guess). I hope that I can recover by Thursday at Sashiko Live. Well… even without actual voice sound, I can stitch & write emails….

A photo from my previous student (now friend) who took the Online Sashiko Class. She gave me a great feedback. I am so happy that she continue enjoying the Sashiko we happily shared with her. ☆ “Understanding Sashiko” can be challenging because we all have different language and background. Words…

Stitches carry a lot of memories. We sometimes call it “spirit”, “feelings”, or even “identity”. I believe it is the same for many people, including you. You may have something associated with your memory & identity made by hands. Interestingly, what I had received had a name “Sashiko”, and it…
