atsushijp, 2024年10月3日

Exactly half of Shippou is done. It is rare to see the results of just circles as I often stitch on non-rectangle shaped fabrics (like Denim Pants). When one goes along the winding curves, while adding threads when it runs out, we can reach the result of “Shippou”.
☆
In the previous Live Streaming, I talked about “Process” and “Result” in Sashiko. I received several feedback that the explanation was helpful to understand my messages about Sashiko. Today, I plan to add 2 more concept there: “Goal” and “Vehicle” (it can be translate as Means and End).
☆
The core principle of Sashiko was in the “ordinary” of those who had no choices but stitching to use fabric for a longer period of time. As we receive more choices in privileges that they didn’t have, we naturally change “Why” and “What”. I am not criticizing the change itself. I am trying to share the stories of its change so that we can appreciate & respect something important – and something missing in today’s Sashiko introduced in English. Respect & Appreciation cannot be fully expressed by just words… So this is my action to Respect & Appreciate the culture we have been practicing.
☆
Live Streaming is available on Youtube, every Thursday night at 9 pm EST. The link should be available on “Story” – and anyone is welcome to see my “unprocessed” Sashiko.

七宝のちょうど半分。くねくねと曲線を進み、糸がなくなったら継ぎ足して…という楽しい運針を続けていくと、できてくる柄が七宝です。円(縁)を繋いでできる柄ということもあり、縁起が良い柄とも言われていて、日本を代表する幾何学模様なのではないかと思っています。刺し子においては、下書きも刺し子も簡単なので、私も頻繁に楽しんでいる柄かと思います(曲線が好きじゃないので、麻の葉柄ほど頻繁ではないですが)。
☆
今日の配信にて、今後また深く考えてみたいと思う4つの言葉から成り立つ考え方をご紹介しました。「結果」「過程」「目的」「手段」。それぞれが明確に言葉にできる時、その人の進みたい方向が(進むべき方向が)見えてくるような気がしています。七宝の柄を完成させるということは「結果」ですが、途中の「過程」にも結果と同じくらいの大切さがあります。私にとって刺し子は「人様とご縁を頂く媒体(手段)」であり、最終的な目的は(私達が好きな)刺し子(後世に)残すことです。
☆
どれだけでお見繕うことができるインターネット上では、全てが曖昧なままでも注目を集めることができます。極論、真実と違っても良くて、いかに「プレゼン」されるかが成功の鍵のような流れすらあります。だからこそ、刺し子を楽しむ人には、丁寧に目的と手段を見据えて、思いっきり過程と結果を楽しんで欲しいなと思うのです。自分だけは誤魔化せないですからね。

This Poncho as an item had sold a couple of years ago… but I wanted to share how we put hand-stitched fabrics together to make the poncho/jacket. It is Keiko’s ability to patchwork these beautiful fabric nicely, as if the fabrics communicate (enjoy talking) each other. ★ All hand-stitched with…

Some say, “Word” doesn’t matter. “Sashiko/Boro” is merely the word, so what is the issue with just using it. I see their point, but I wonder if they know the word “Kotodama (言霊)” when they discuss about Japanese words. Kotodama means a spirit of saying. We believe(d) the word carries…
