The Sashiko mask exhibited in ROM now is the mask I actually “heavily” used in 2

atsushijp, 2021年11月6日

The Sashiko mask exhibited in ROM now is the mask I actually “heavily” used in 2020. I, of course, washed it before I had sent it, but it isn’t really “clean” in terms of the condition. It is a heavily used mask. I hesitated a bit when I received a request: telling them “It isn’t the mask I made for display. I used it a number of times”. ROM’s reply was: “That’s exactly what we are looking for”.
☆
“From Personal Protection to Personal Expression”: This is the second sentence of the exhibition. Do you remember a series of interesting conversations on this account about how “useless” some think about the Sashiko masks I had shared? So many comments & 2 extreme comments as if I believed in the medical function in this Sashiko Mask. No, I wasn’t. I clearly stated that the mask is not for any medical purpose but more like the way to go through the difficult time with what we had: Sashiko. Many people experience(d) the extremely difficult time in Covid. It is not over yet, and that’s our new normal. Therefore, I want you to care for the stories more. I want the world to learn History: and I want them to learn stories around History. That’s something we can do to preserve who we are as humans in this crazy time.

先日ご紹介した、ROMにて展示されているマスクは、2020年に実際に僕が使っていたマスクです。頻繁に使ってたので、それなりにほつれもあるし、美品なんていうものではありません。何度も繰り返しお伝えしたのです。「がっつりしっかり使ったマスクです。もちろん洗ってから送りますが、でも美品なんていうものではないです」と。その返答が「だからこそ良いんです」というものだった時に、やっぱりふと思い浮かんだのは「用の美」です。どうしても定義を考えてしまうと、民藝と芸術の境界線は必要です。英語にするとわかりやすくて、Folk Art と Fine Artはやっぱり一緒に語るのは危ないです。ただ、日本では「用の美」という境界線があってないような「美」の表現があって、だからこそその曖昧で、でも共通認識の輪郭を残したいんだなと思っているのです。

Youtubeでのテーマを決めた配信。話があちこち飛びましたが、でも当初の予定した通りのお話はできました。頭を使うので刺し子をしながらでは難しく、となると「刺し子配信」では無い気もするのですが、様々な配信を通して刺し子について考え続けられたらなと思っています。

How do you describe the Japanese culture (people)? “Hard-working”, “Polite”, “shy”, “Collectivism”… these words are reasonable to understand. However, please know that the descriptions can be the projections from non-Japanese culture – the words do not describe not the whole picture (essence) of Japanese culture/people. Please learn “why” the Japanese…

This is a photo from Sashiko Japan Tour 2023, where we introduce ourselves in-person, in a gathering of Sashiko Artisans within Japan & Tour members. It was my first time going back to Japan in 10 years after going through a lot of things. As some of the participants there…

I had a request to shoot a photo of repaired jeans from distance. It was a bit difficult, but I hope this shows the whole picture of mending. Look at diapers, wipes and book. After all, I am a work at home dad 🙂 ご要望に答えて、直したジーンズを遠目から。 こういうのをカッコよく撮れるようになりたいなぁ。セルフショットが難しいし、オムツが写ってるし、スタイルが宜しくないし。 ま、今後の課題です。カッコいいお父さんになるぞー。 2017-05-12 16:32:45 Source

    I thought about those discussions a lot. At the time, Canadian health authorities were directing us NOT to wear masks, and I trusted those messages. You offered a different perspective that helped me get on board with mask wearing, probably sooner than I otherwise would have. Thank you!

    I am always so happy if I find someone that seems to think alike. We are for sure very different. I am a woman from the Netherlands, 58 but I love to read and listen to your ideas and thoughts. Thank you for sharing. I know it takes a lot of time and vulnarability.
