Back to the topic of Sustainable Fashion a little bit. Yes, I repair my own clothes. I haven’t purchased clothes since 2017 when I decided to try this “Social Experiment”. However, I am not an extreme activist. This is merely a choice. I dare not to ask people around to…

Would you like to stitch the entire denim like this? Then, I strongly recommend learning Sashiko from us. Sashiko is getting its name for “slow-stitching” and “therapeutic-stitching”. I agree with that – it is therapeutic and slow (in comparison to machine embroidery). However, “stitching slow” is not the core of…

Sashiko has “already become” a trend. One advised me it is too late to share the “Sashiko (which Atsushi advocates)”. Well. Regardless. I cannot give up on my identity, right? I am a stone in a big trend stream. I really appreciate all the supporting comments for what I do….

“Cultural Appropriation” is still a difficult term for me. I’m still learning. Some may understand my writing as “No non-Japanese should enjoy (wear) Sashiko/Boro because it is Japanese word”. This is Not a true at all. As you know, my message is completely opposite. I want everyone to enjoy Sashiko…

刺し子とデニムジーンズ。刺し子嫌いだった僕が、「ん？刺し子って良いんじゃない？」と刺し子好きになるきっかけをくれた組み合わせです。見た目が格好良いのは勿論なのですが、「時間と一緒に作っていく」という過程がとても好きなのです。デニムの色落ちにこだわる人がいるように、刺し子をしたデニムは、その刺し子をした瞬間が終わりではなく、寧ろスタートだと思っています。刺し子をして強くなったデニムを履き込んで、ぼろぼろになったら追加で針を通して。そんな営みの行き着く先が襤褸なんだと思うんです。結果ありきの襤褸じゃなく、営みが先にくる襤褸。まだまだ英語で話すことは尽きそうにありません。 ☆ – – – ☆ I appreciate @lildenimjean for finding us. We all hand-stitch the Sashiko on the Denim – to follow the origin of Sashiko – to make the fabric stronger. The completion of initial Sashiko is merely a start of the Denim. Everyone who loves denim will…

We have another priority over “business” – family. Sashiko was the ordinary custom for the Japanese to care someone they had (like family). So, if I sacrifice my family for achieving my goal (to share the culture of Sashiko), it lose the sense of whole purpose. Family comes first. The…

Indigo Dyed Sashiko Thread, hand-dyed by Keiko, is now restocked in both Japan and USA. The dark and light shade from Indigo blue will enrich the Sashiko project. I use this thread for Denim mending as well. The Indigo blue and Denim blue goes very well together – and the…

The new Denim Project, “Patchworked Sashiko Denim” is 80% done. Well, at least, it gets back to the shape of the pants. ☆ I started this project without any plans. So, I didn’t even measure the length of swatch and didn’t number the parts. Next time, I will work on…

It was October when I came back to Sashiko throughout Denim Mending. Sashiko mending & Sashiko Stitching on Denim fabric is still my favorite. I will focus on the Denim mending project for this month. If you have any questions, you may contact me through Contact page or Youtube Channel….
