Photos are the “Boro” in progress. Yes. We are making “fresh Boro” out of “swatches that didn’t become Boro”. Not only the patchworking but also including “using” and “mending” to be Boro.

I read the news of Forever21 filing Chapter 11. The article was concluded that the “taste” of customers shifted to more “eco-friendly”. We probably call it, “Trend”. Fashion as its “season” and there is an on-going trend (which I don’t know). I don’t want to share the Sashiko as one of the trend – it is more than a trend for me – not like a trend that quick to get interested and quick to forget. Therefore, I am sharing. I hope you will take action to learn as well. I cannot control one’s willingness, but I hope they open-up their minds instead of trying to catch the trend (surface) of one culture quickly and easily. Sashiko and Boro are more than “beauty”. ☆

前々から噂はありましたが、ファストファッションの有名店、フォーエバー21が米破産法を申請しました。これぞ流行の怖さ……というのを垣間見ている気がします。沢山の何かを犠牲にして安さと手軽さを売りに流行したファッションが、環境保護への意識が高まるに連れて危機的状況に追い込まれる。環境保護は流行では無いとは思いますが、当たり前の話ですが、全ては「僕たちが選んだこと」です。だから、僕は「流行」という言葉が嫌いだし、ぶっちゃけ刺し子も大して流行って欲しいとは思っていません。流行ると歪みが大きくなるし、ノイズも増えてきます。本気で刺し子を好きという人に刺し子を伝えたいし、やっぱり見た目以上の何かも伝えたいのです。とはいえ、「本気とは何か?」と聞かれれば、「ちょっとした聞く耳」だけで良いんですけどね。人生かけろとか、修行しろとか、そんなんは思っていません。ただ、最近目にすることが増えた「好き勝手な解釈」が、どうも流行っぽいなぁと嫌気がするだけです。

日本的な発想だと、状況のような「嫌気」とか「嫌い」という言葉は、使うべきじゃないのです。ただ、刺し子を伝えたいと思っている土俵が日本的発想圏外なので、上記のようなできるだけオブラートに包んだ発言は許して頂けると幸いです(笑)。刺し子が流行にのり、そして飽きられて、お金という莫大な力に縛られるようなことにはなりたくないのでね。

A video I found online gave me enormous pain – that I couldn’t breath for a while. A person making holes on nice fabric with using a stick Flat File, then mend it, and call it “Boro” phrasing “Art” introducing their new “collection”. This is why I do not call…

This is my 5th year of teaching Sashiko. Life is interesting. I am realizing what I had considered as “Mediocre (in today’s society)” is actually what the others are interested in learning. ☆ I have not met anyone who teaches Sashiko in the same way as I stitch/teach in me…

A good friend of ours sent us this photo. She visited a small exhibition room in a small village in Japan, where people practiced ordinary Sashiko. This is another example of the “silent voice”. Not many Japanese know this place. We didn’t even know until fairly recently. However, their Sashiko…
