I appreciate many reactions to the previous post. I just wanted to add it to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings. It is fine (by me) to celebrate the “imperfection” within their own creation. I am nowhere to define what “perfect” and “beauty” are. The posts are not triggered by any specific people….

atsushijp, 2020年9月30日

I wonder when/how people started referring to Sashiko as the “Beauty (Perfect) in Imperfection”. I don’t know Japanese Sashiko artisans who are(were) proud of their imperfection. Yes, Sashiko is after all the beauty (perfect) in imperfection. They are all hand-stitched. No series of stitches will be perfect like a machine…

atsushijp, 2020年4月30日

I love Cherry Blossom – as I named my cat the name for it, “Sakura (桜)”. In PA, the Spring Wind can be quite strong. Therefore, the full blossom of Sakura is almost momentally, for a few days of blessing for me in Spring. ☆ The beauty in “Moment” (short…

「手をみれば、その人の生き様がわかる。守る手、重ねる手だよ。頑張ったね。」親父&僕の両方の幼少期を知る、卒寿を超えた方から頂いた言葉です。 ☆ お世辞にも綺麗だと言える手じゃありません。家事も刺し子も指先の感覚が失われるのが嫌なので、水仕事も何もかも基本素手なので、一層荒れるばかり。でも、ちょっと自慢の手です。握力というより 、重ねる手。伝わるかな。 ☆ 手は氣の出入り口であり、増幅機関であり、またフィルターでもあります。運針の針目に惹かれるのは、その手の持つ”らしさ”を形にしたものだと思うから。いろんな人と話す中で、結構真面目に、「刺し子の持つチカラ」を再確認しています。”コロナ疲れ”が出てくる頃だからこそ、余計に。刺し子を通して何かのメッセージを伝えることができるのかもしれません。 ☆ – – – ☆ I would never say my hand is beautiful from a cosmetic perspective. I use & depends on my hand so heavily, in Sashiko, in house work, and pretty much everything. I prefer the bare hand so I can “feel”….

atsushijp, 2020年3月26日

In Sashiko workshop & Online Class, many ask me “is it good stitching?”. I understand that it is a very natural question in learning something new – to be better. However, my attention goes to how you enjoy the stitching itself. Even stitches, beautiful stitches, accuracy, the results are of…

atsushijp, 2020年3月22日

(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…

atsushijp, 2020年3月22日

I think I got to the conclusion. “Wearing DIY fabric mask is Worse than wearing no mask IF A PERSON is stupid & ignorant”. You know how much I am against ignorance. I appreciate the information shared about “how to use fabric masks safely”. It is kind of common sense…

Okay. I overcame my panic-mode. It is my worst-nightmare to share the incorrect & harmful information due to lack of my caring (mindful learning). I concluded that the advice from the medical professions is based on the misunderstanding of who I am. They may have thought that I would use…

HEEELP! I am confused. It is NOT my intention to spread the wrong information. Please help. Is it WORSE to wear a DIY Fabric mask than nothing (No mask)? We all should follow the precaution. I am NOT encouraging you to go outside with this mask. Keep washing hands &…

Thanks to my wife & daughter’s support, I had a live streaming on “how I make the handmade mask”. It is on our Youtube channel (SashiCo), and anyone can watch it. It is about 100 min live streaming with try & error with both English & Japanese. I will try to…
