atsushijp, 2024年10月12日

Next Day of the Live Streaming with an allergic reaction to something, I ended up having a fever… like Flu symptoms. Well… I wasn’t expecting this, so I spent as much time as I can be awake for Sashiko – I wasn’t well enough to do some brainwork or outside labor, but Sashiko was there for me to sit & stitch.
☆
I used to think that Sashiko was a waste of time. Now, interestingly, I choose to hold a needle to avoid feeling guilty for not doing anything – I enjoy Sashiko so as not to waste time. Once we get used to the “Rhythm”, Sashiko becomes a part of ordinary days. We can stitch without using the brain or whole body parts. All we need is the strength to sit up, and move our hands. Sashiko isn’t something we need some fancy preparation for.
☆
Sashiko introduced in English is, unfortunately, simplified and romanticized. Those who introduce Sashiko without proper understanding of Sashiko & its Japaneseness slice off some of the most important parts of Sashiko, and signify a minor part of Sashiko for their profit & convenience. Sashiko is more than how it is introduced in English – and I am trying my best to explain/describe that in English.
☆
Many have found the difference & their own way to approach (appreciate) the culture of Sashiko. I will keep sharing our Sashiko Story so that we can preserve this interesting stichery culture.

くしゃみしっぱなしの配信の翌日、ものの見事に熱が出ました。なんだったんだろう…と思いつつ、熱と寒気と頭痛だけだったので(関節の痛みはなかったので)、ブランケット被って刺し子してました。刺し子は、指先さえ動けば体調が悪くても作業できるのが良いですね(オススメはしないです)。想定してなかった体調不良だったので、なんか時間を無駄にしたくなかったんですよね。
☆
運針が当たり前になってくると、何も考えずに刺し子をすることができるようになります。脳は動いているのだろうけれど、いちいち細かいことに焦点を当てないというか…。車を運転する時、どれくらいの圧力でガスペダルを踏んでいるかとか、どれくらいの角度でハンドルを切ろうかと、常にずーっと考えているわけではないのと同じように、いつの間にか針目ができているような感覚にすらなるんです。
☆
結果にこだわる刺し子も素敵だし、デザインや見た目が刺し子の変化の大部分だとは承知しつつも、この「日常感」や「大したことない感じ」も刺し子の大切な一部として残したいなと思っています。

My goal is pretty simple and straightforward: I want to pass down the Sashiko we have been practicing with “reasonable” changes (not by Cultural Filtering). One of the outcomes I am proud of is the emergence of rising artisans in Sashiko. Some of the Sashiko Items I use are made…

In a conversation with my students who recently took my workshop, I found her pure reaction interesting. She said: “Oh, You aren’t ‘Sashiko Police’ then”. I am NOT… hahaha. I really hope that you understand that I am not. I never patrol on SNS to crack down on someone specific…

(日本語有り)A handmade-fabric mask is “better than nothing”. What makes it “worse than nothing” is HOW we use it. This is the conclusion after reading all of the comments & some research. Although I believe everyone is okay with this conclusion, please keep acting mindfully. Learn more & be attentive. Wearing…

    My friend gets flu-like symptoms every time he gets the flu shot.
    Maybe you have the same constitution.
    I sometimes get a fever from hay fever.
    Please take care of yourself..
