Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

Sashiko may be just a trendy word for them. However, please know that there are people behind the word – here, some Japanese people who spend (spent) their life there.

☆

Art makes us human. Playfulness encourages Art. We all need freedom. They are all true statements. I would like to call mine “Art”. I enjoy the playfulness (joke) to enrich my life. I appreciate the freedom I have today. However, I dare not want them over someone’s pain. I understand that my ordinary today is built on someone’s pain already (in capitalism). What I am saying here is, respect & learning are the key to avoid unnecessary pain.

☆

Some of the free interpretation for Sashiko is painful. I am not here to accuse anything. I am just here to share my pain because I learned that silence is not a kindness. I learned how important it is to speak up about my own culture because there are people who care about others (but they do not know).

☆

Please do NOT react to this message. If you do not like what I write today, first, please read what I have been writing. Then, I will try to share more.

文化は変化すると頭では理解しながら、「できるだけ何も変えたくない」というのは望み過ぎなのでしょうか。「文化は多数決で決められるものじゃないから、どんな声も拾って考えていきたい」という理想論の横で、手軽さや人気だけで外枠が決まってしまっていく現実に、どう反応したらいいのか。親父が死んで、僕はきっと、とても「優しく」なりました。もっと親孝行しておけば良かったという罪悪感を外に向けているだけかもしれませんが、刺し子に対して怒ることが増えました。それこそ、親父がいた頃は、刺し子について怒ったことなんて一度もなかったんじゃないかな(それ以外のことには常にピリピリしてたけど)。願いは一つ。居場所を作ってきた刺し子を、表面的な「アートだから自由」という言葉で変えられたくないんだと思います。こんな素敵な刺し子を裏にして世間様に見せないようにするのも、それなりの意味があるのです。

Well. Latest “Upcycled” Denim reached its competition (for now). Comparing it to other Denims I have worked on so far, I realize the smaller pieces of vintage fabrics would make this project more attractive. It is a miracle process of finding a “gem” at the right place & right timing….

As the words “Sashiko” and “Boro” became famous, I came across a celebration of books & exhibitions introducing the Sashiko/Boro pieces made decades & even centuries ago. Not many, but there are some really good books explaining a Sashiko with photos of actual Sashiko/Boro items the Japanese made (I do…
