The business has been difficult with many types of limitations. The most significant limitation is the lack of “available time”. I would like to share more products, more news, more stories, and more support for anyone who wants to enjoy Sashiko. ☆ Live Streaming is(was) one of the efficient ways…

I just realized that I have 10K subscribers on Youtube. Thank you! Among other “kind of Sashiko” videos, I will keep sharing the Sashiko I have received. Family comes first, current & future students come second, so Youtube is not in high priority… but it is a very necessary media to…

I am working hard to film myself for the Online Sashiko Class. I finally convinced myself, and (kine of) overcame the fear of making it available online (without me being there next to you). When it comes to Sashiko, I have no problem getting things done. When it comes to…

I have 3 seasons to think of my father in heaven. Spring Festival, Fall festival, and over the new year. He was’t the textbook-ideal father, but I realize every year that my Sashiko foundation is based on his life. And, the more passes, I am shocked how similar i look…
