Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

Well, I am learning how to communicate our messages to the public. It is painful

atsushijp, 2022年3月24日

Well, I am learning how to communicate our messages to the public. It is painful to encounter “ignorance”. However, it doesn’t mean that we don’t need to improve our skill of “How to Speak up”. My goal is to have our voice heard (acknowledged), then trusting human decency to care. I cannot change those who acknowledge & then ignore intentionally for their profit or convenience. However, I can reach those who just “don’t know” it. If a Reel is a good vehicle to get me to the destination, I will learn how to ride.

Sashiko is beautiful. It inspires many people very much. However, please do not romanticize Sashiko too much. It is after all the hand-stitching: the difference is that Sashiko is deeply linked to Japanese culture. So anyone can do it (but teaching as “Sashiko expert” will probably take a lot of “guts” to do because of its cultural link). We still make this type of masterpiece, with all hand-stitching, as the video shows. Since we can do it, you can do it, too. I know many who can do it now after learning Sashiko from us. Please learn “the Core & Essence” of Sashiko: then you will find the difference, as the step to make this kind of big item.

刺し子友達ができて本当に嬉しいなぁと思うのは、このような作品を紹介した際に、「わ〜凄いですね(私にはできない)」というコメントよりも先に、「わ〜私もやってみたい」というお言葉を頂けることです。刺し子の本質の一つ。誰でもできるんです。まじで。出汁取れない日本料理人とか怖いでしょ。味噌汁作れなくて「日本家庭の家事のエキスパート」とかちょっと寂しいでしょ。そんなレベルの話だったりします。

☆

知らない人には知って欲しいだけだったりします。なぜここまで面倒なことに巻き込まれながらも毎日思いを綴っているかというと、「知っているのに無視して、意図的に塗り替えようとする」輩が非日本語圏にいることです。往々にして、声が大きい人で、面の皮が厚い人です。性善説をある程度信じているので、「知ればわかってくれる」と思っているのです。逆に言えば、知らないから酷いこともできる…と。まだまだ先は長いですが、大層なことをしてるわけじゃないというのを前面に出しつつ、素敵な作品を作り続けられたらと思っています。

Sashiko can be lonely work – merely stitching. I used to feel serious loneliness

2020年1月23日

Sashiko can be lonely work – merely stitching. I used to feel serious loneliness in a family business – I felt as if no one cared about Sashiko (with looking at the steep decline in financial reports). ☆ After losing a lot of things in 2013, I now realize that…

I appreciate many reactions to the Story I had posted today (6/11). I need to clarify one thing. I am NOT “angry-at” and/or “disgusted-by” non-Japanese who use “Sashiko/Boro” for their money-making. In fact, I would like to talk to them about what/how they do for a better understanding of Sashiko/Boro…

An Update of Keiko’s Natural Dye with Walnut… She “combine” Indigo and/or Logw

An Update of Keiko’s Natural Dye with Walnut… She “combine” Indigo and/or Logwood to create the desireable color. In my understanding, Keiko is not only a Sashiko artist, but also the Natural Dye artist 😀 — 胡桃染めの進捗です。 胡桃だけだと、理想の色が出なかったようで、藍染とかログウッドとか、いろいろ組み合わせてみています。なんとまぁ。手染め&草木染めとは思えない段染めです。もう、染め師だよな、恵子さん(笑) — 2018-07-15 22:28:30 Source
