I receive many questions regarding “Am I correct?”. It is a kind question because it shows they care about the origin. Some do not even care if they are correct or not. However, as you may know already with following this account, it is not easy to define what is “correct” and “incorrect” in Sashiko. It is probably the same to many other cultures, or probably any culture in general.

Often, the “Correct” is a result of “someone’s loud voice”. The one who is good at presenting “can” make the “Correct”. Or, frankly speaking, as Dan Brown wrote in “The Da Vinci Code”, “History is always written by the winners…” Therefore, I try not to provide the “definitive answer” by saying there is no such a thing as “Right” and “Wrong” in Sashiko. In fact, it is my wish to collect the silent voices from Japan (It is very difficult, but I am lucky to be born in the environment.)

Yes, I am now becoming a “someone with a loud voice”. A year ago, an unfortunate discussion on SNS woke me up that I cannot continue being silent when the trend may override my own culture. I share what I love about Sashiko, the techniques, and stories. However, as I keep saying, the Sashiko I share is a part of the “Sashiko” in Japan. I am only a branch from a big tree. Therefore, it is very important to share “everything” I have – when people receive what I am sharing in techniques, mindset, and philosophy, then they can find their own “Correct” in Sashiko, as I have found my own “Correct” in Sashiko.

最後の通常配信から2週間半。見切り発車配信から約1週間。禁断症状が出ております（笑）。頭の中にアウトプットしたいことが渦巻いている……。配信始める前はどう処理してたかなぁと考えてみたら、そう言えば、めちゃくちゃ長いブログを書くことによって整理してたんだなぁと。話したり文章にしないと、頭が一杯になるのは昔から変わって無いようで。どこかで配信できないかなー。家族に相談してみようかなー（まだリズムが掴めずなのですが、でもあと1ヶ月は続くし）。配信する時はストーリーに事前告知するので（直前かもしれんけど）、見に来てくださいねー！
