The essence of Sashiko exists in the ordinary. Since it is ordinary, I often wonder what to teach. It is too ordinary for me to describe, even including “How to”. Often, what I find as a trifling matter can be someone’s wish to learn. In contrast, what I really want to learn can be someone’s ordinary. That’s the real fun part of cross-cultural learning.

Long Story Short, finally, I am preparing the “Applied” Version of Online Sashiko Class. It is NOT an “advanced” version. The whole core & essence of Sashiko is completed in the Online Sashiko Class (Core & Essence). This new Online Class is based on the idea of my new workshop in QuiltCon, “Application & Practice”, saying [Let’s apply what we learn to have more fun].

It is a great process of finding what I have received. It is my big privilege to receive so many stories (and a bit of technique). Therefore, I feel responsible to speak up: even teach so that I can be proud of myself in front of those who never spoke up about passing down Sashiko, yet spend their life & pride in Sashiko.

重い腰を上げて……というか、来週に迫ったワークショップがあるから……という捉え方もあるのですが、今年中に新しい英語版のオンラインクラスを作る予定です。「上級者向け」じゃなくて、「レシピ紹介ワークショップ」的な感じです。基本というか必要な事の全ては一回のクラスで収まるので、その大切なことに焦点を当てて、いろんな角度から刺し子をしてみようという感じの時間になればと思っています。なので……珍しく、僕が一目刺しをする動画が増えるかもしれません。考えながら刺し子すると、配信できなくなるから、そこはバランスを考えなきゃいけないんですけどね。

👏Lovely, what a great pattern!
😍🙌
I like your approach more and more. I learned embroidery from my grandmother, and from her stories of her own mother embroidering. It was just a part of life. Then I studied folk costumes of various ethnic groups, and drew embroideries as a part of illustrations I made. Its always that the story behind it is a part of the stitch itself. And the story usually is about frugality, beliefs, magic, hardships, long winters, costs and time consuming process of making a garmet. Thank you for sharing your stories and respect towards them.
This will be wonderful
