Getting Ready for starting tomorrow! I feel so grateful for the opportunity to share the Sashiko we have been practicing. After all, no matter how loud or quiet our voice is, it is up to whether they are willing to listen or not. For me, therefore, knowing “Who is listening…

Two weeks from now, on Friday night of 2/23, I will be having another grateful opportunity to speak on the stage as part of the Lecture. Last year in 2023 in Atlanta, my lecture was about “Cultural Sustainability”. This year, I will talk about the difference I feel as a…

I get nervous when I have a workshop/lecture. It doesn’t matter the size, duration, to whom, and even Online or In-person. Everytime I face people who are eager to learn, I get so nervous that I cannot eat anything while (and before) teaching. One cause of this nervousness is “fear…

In this account, I am sharing “stories” so that I can somewhat illustrate what Sashiko is. In Workshop & Online Class, I teach the “Core & Essence (the most important element)” in Sashiko. 5 years of experience with positive reviews encouraged me to be confident that anyone can reach the…

I started teaching Sashiko in English only about 5 years ago with almost no confidence in what I would be teaching. Since then, every opportunity to teach Sashiko, I share what I have as if it is the last day of my life. Many students kindly tell me to relax….

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…
