I love Jazz. In my twenties, there was a moment when I start “liking” the Free Jazz – It became an entertainment from a collection of sounds (noise… sorry). As my experience with Jazz, I can see that Sashiko may transform its look for more “free” from “traditional”. I hope, as the most of free Jazz artists are also very good at standard jazz, the Sashiko stitcher would enjoy the standard (traditional) of Sashiko techniques. ☆
Never too late to start learning something new. Sashiko isn’t complicated. Once they learn the posture and some techniques, it is just a matter of practice. When they have enough time to stitch continuously, they will reach to our levels of running stitch after a few years, possibly within a few months. I have many testimonies thanks to all the opportunities of me offering workshops. We have some workshops planned in NYC in 2019. I will send another invitation for the Online Sashiko Class for those who are in the waiting list. I (Atsushi) will keep Sashiko stitching in standard form because I know one of the best “free” Sashiko stitcher – Keiko. Please check the link from the profile to get the information you would like – the workshop in NYC and/or Online Sashiko Class.

「素晴らしい刺し子に影響された（inspired by Sashiko)」という作品を拝見する機会が増えました。嬉しいなぁと思うと同時に、基礎も学んだ上での「自由な刺し子」であって欲しいなぁと思うのです。音楽好きで、前衛的な音楽もやっと楽しめるようになった20代、全ての前衛音楽家が、スタンダードの音楽でも超一流がゆえの前衛なのだと、音楽の奥深さを楽しんでおりました。刺し子はアートではないというのが僕の個人的な認識です。同時に、刺し子をアートと呼ぶ方が（非日本語圏では）多いのも承知の上。アートと呼ぶのであれば、是非基本的な技術もできるようになった上で……と思うのです。その基本への尊敬こそが、きっと日本文化を大切にしてくれていることだと思うので。
