Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

I believe the people here have already realized it. However, just in case, here

atsushijp, 2021年8月15日

I believe the people here have already realized it. However, just in case, here it is. I am NOT limiting your creativity. In fact, I am doing the opposite. I am helping you to expand your possibilities. Before criticizing what I write based on your “common sense”, realize it by reading between lines. It isn’t so difficult once you become mindful of what I am doing.

☆

“Whatever is fine because it is Art” is a valid statement. However, please be aware that their “whatever” is already limited by someone’s convenience. So, they are choosing “whatever they can choose” and calling it “Art”… and resulting in changing the culture. Keep learning so that you can expand “whatever” – it is what I tell my students. Whatever is good when you “can do / know” what I am sharing. 

☆

Unfortunately, today’s Sashiko in English is missing the most delicious part. It doesn’t make me so angry, just sad. Some are eating “Pizza without Cheese” and calling it a delicious pizza. Before saying whatever is fine, the “whatever” unfortunately doesn’t include the cheese. Yes, you can add “whatever toppings” on pizza, but I want you to enjoy the rich greasy cheese. Once you know the taste of cheese, then let’s go find what is the best cheese for your pizza.

☆

What they know about the foreign culture is already limited when common sense & language are different. I am not limiting anyone. I am just saying I do not want you to give up on something important by trusting the convenient route. Don’t trust “whatever”: please find YOUR “whatever”.

素敵なワークショップの時間を過ごせました。変わらず写真はございません(笑)こればっかりは写真撮影用のスタッフを雇えるようになるまでは無理ですね。ただ雇う予定はないのでワークショップ中の写真は貴重なものになりそうです。いろいろ言われるSNSですが、受講頂ければ必ず「あぁそうなのか」と言われるものを作れています。運針会でもそれをお伝えしますね。

Sashiko developed as the method to survive: to make fabric warmer and stronger. At the same time, I believe, the detail to exceed an expectation existed even in the poverty. It is the “caring” I always talk about. A stitcher’s pride to make something beatiful even in the limited situation….

Sashiko from Japanese Traditional Gaiter. The pattern with Horizontal, Vertical, and Diagnal is very “making sense” pattern to do Sashiko, for the purpose of strengthening the fabric. — We practice Sashiko & learn the culture and concept of it everyday. It is a very fun & enjoyable proces of stitching….

Have you heard the concept of High and Low Context Culture (Edward T. Hall, 1976

2019年7月8日

Have you heard the concept of High and Low Context Culture (Edward T. Hall, 1976, “Beyond Culture”)? I’ve been following some discussions about Cultural Appropriation (C/A), and in some cases, I got upset to protect the Sashiko culture. However, in other cases, I could observe the “not-on-the-same page” discussion. It…

    I love being able to look at my work and go “okay, this is incomplete from several perspectives. But every stitch you make while listening and learning gets you closer and helps make sure you’re not doing harm.”

    My teacher in fine arts once told a student that he couldn’t start with abstract painting before he wouldn’t know the real shape. Thus it is always a long way to find the individual truth. Thank you for your posts!
