Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

Good day and Bad day. Uplifting mood and feeling of depression. Shine and Rain.

atsushijp, 2019年7月16日

Good day and Bad day. Uplifting mood and feeling of depression. Shine and Rain. We all have different reasons to act differently everyday. However, there is one thing I keep it in my mind – I will not change how I react to whom based on what they may have (like money or status). This is merely my motto – not my promise – but I would like to be the one who appreciate who they are instead of what they have (offer).
☆
I am earnest about sharing the Sashiko we practice. I occasionally see the strange (insufficient) description about Sashiko (& Boro) online. I started writing more about Sashiko on Instagram because I thought it would be our responsibility to share as a Native Japanese. Sashiko is very simple, therefore it shows what I feel as the result. If I bring up the ego, my Sashiko pieces would be egoistic, as well. And personally, I do not like the egoistic Sashiko. Prioritising people based on what they have connect my Sashiko and selfish desire. I am a human, I of course prioritise things. However, when I do that, I would like to prioritise things based on how “suitable” I can feel to who I am (which strongly related who I am and what I like). As the photo shows, no such thing as perfect Sashiko. However, I would like you to be earnest about Sashiko to make the very best of yours with simply enjoying the stitching. We are all human. Nothing is perfect. However, it is the attitude that makes a lot of difference over long term

最近インスタ配信の調子が悪くご迷惑をおかけしています。今日のメインはYoutubeにアーカイブで残っていると思います。自分で勝手に迷い、皆様のコメントを頂戴し、気がついたら勝手に結論まで持っていくという、「なんだその自己中配信は!」的なもので恐縮ですが、今回も沢山の学びを頂きました。言われてハッとするのもどうかと思うのですが、やっぱり僕はくそ真面目なんだろうと思います。
☆
刺し子を適当に(行き当たりばったり)でやろうとするのは、そうなりたいという憧れからかもしれません。仕事、人間付き合い、基本的に真面目で、いざ針を持つと、その真面目さ(融通のきかなさ)が針目にでます。そのバランスを取ってくれているのが刺し子なのかもしれません。針を動かしながら話をして、結果的に人生の師と話したような気になる。僕にとって刺し子とは、師そのものなのかもしれないなぁ……と。次回は頑張ってもう少し楽しい話します(笑)

The latest Sashiko item by Keiko. Well… it is the new item, but the item itself is very similar to what we have been making, the basic Totebag with fundamental Sashiko Stitching. ☆ It is similar, yet we would like to share the beauty of hand-stitching, with explaining the subtle…

While you continue enjoying Sashiko, one of the experiences I would strongly like to embrace with you would be the time to introduce (let you meet) Keiko in-person. She is my mother, but we have a completely different approach, style, and even philosophy in Sashiko – she has her own…

Doubt what you know first in order to pass down the culture in the “original” form. ☆ “Sashiko is a technique of Japanese visible mending”. If you read what I share, you understand this statement doesn’t describe the whole picture of Sashiko. The “words” are very convenient, but sometimes risky….

    “Be Real, Not Perfect” is what comes to mind. I quite like this “imperfect” sashiko. You see the beauty in effort. I always enjoy hearing you talk about the meaning in sashiko and I have taken it to heart. Side question, what is the “mountain form” meant to represent symbolically?

    はじめまして。とても共感できる文章だったので、思わずコメントしてしまいました。同じく真面目人間なので…
    私は刺し子が自分の真面目さを肯定してくれているような気がして、いつも針を動かしています。真面目な自分を表現できる、刺し子って最高です☺️

    真面目!いいじゃないですか、真面目は悪くないの🤣 たまに、頑固になってみたり、エゴになってみたり……そして、落ち込む時も真面目😂 人には、色んな凹凸があるから、繋がるわけで、色んな形になって行くんじゃないかなぁ……と😳✨ 自分と向き合えた時間も、素敵なことですよ❤️
