[To clarify what I write]
Respect is not sufficient by just a word – not even an attitude. Respect is an action.

I did not ask for “respect to Sashiko culture” 3 years ago because there was no explanation of what the Sashiko we practice is like in English. It is unfair to ask everyone to be able to read Japanese or live in Japan for a long time. Today after 3 years, many people know I have provided enough information to avoid cultural appropriation. Not every wisdom I have, but enough to respect the origin. Therefore, I am agitated by the trend. Respect is an action – go grab the information “Available FOR FREE” first. If you like it, then please consider supporting what we do by being caring & learning on Patreon or in Workshops. Support Sashiko in purchasing the Sashiko supplies from us or other caring Sashiko businesses (like @indigoniche). If you don’t like what is Sashiko with the Japanese culture, then stop the Cultural Appropriation there. “Sashiko” is our culture – not the word for marketing or for getting you an artist.

ごめんなさい。FBに投稿されたあるビデオを見て、怒りが頂点に達しました。怒りとは面白いもので、考えれば考える程(鎮めようとすれば鎮めるほど)エスカレートしてしまうものです。投稿頻度が増えますが、お許し下さい。言ってることは、いつもと一緒です(笑)でも、読まない人が多いんだもん。
