Sashiko is like a bowl of rice and miso-soup for us (as Japanese). It means that it is “very natural” for us to have. It was always there with us, and it will be, too. 刺し子は私達にとって当たり前。 そんな感じの写真がこれです。ご注文頂いた荷物への発送番号を僕に教えてくれる母親からのメール。シール貼った先が、当たり前のように刺し子布（笑）しかもカッコいい。 味噌汁の様に刺し子に親しんできたんだなと、今更ながらに思うのです。 2018-04-11 16:46:47 Source

3 hours of live streaming on Friday.
3 hours of live streaming on Friday. The first half is about a project of “From Scratch to Complete” and the 2nd half was on denim repairing. A glimpse of Asano-ha is what I love the most in denim mending. 今週末も長い配信にお付き合い下さり、感謝の気持ちで一杯です。デニムの補修はチラリズムが決めて……と勝手に思いつつ、5つ程のプロジェクトを同時進行（基本的に煮詰まっては気分を変えて……を）しております。 2018-03-30 16:42:26 Source

There was a question in FB group or Live Streaming in English. Sashiko is not all about geometric patterns. It can be any drawing including Japanese famiy cresta. Simply enjoy the hand-stitching. It is like a pizza. It can be deep dish (in Chicago) or completely thin crust. Both good…

White Jacket to Indigo Blue.
White Jacket to Indigo Blue. Keiko decided to go with Indigo, and the white Japanese workman Jacket becomes natural blue jacket. The machine stitching thread didn’t get color. The pattern by tailoring before dyeing makes it so unique, too. Beautiful. 【ご報告】 前回、「柿渋でマジで染めるの？（白のままでもカッコいいんじゃない？）」という僕の疑問に、「そうだよね、やっぱり藍染だよね。（染めないという選択肢はなかったららしい）」と。 早速ですが染め上がりました。行動早いわ。 箪笥の肥やしになっていた反物を使ったジャケット。仕立てたところは上手く染まらず、ミシン糸は全く染まらず。それでも、なんかカッコいいんじゃないかなと思える出来です。 少し緑がかるように藍染めしてみたとのこと。 ホントに技術が上がってきて、こういう母親みてると、成長に年齢は言い訳にできないなぁと思うのです。 2017-11-06 03:34:27 Source

A group photo with Sashiko artisans in Otsuchi. The bag they hold is made by each artisan. Their works look great, and they improved their Sashiko skills by a lot. I feel happy, and somewhat proud of them. 大槌刺し子の皆さんと。 それぞれ手に持ってらっしゃるのは自分で作られた作品。本当に上達されたなぁと。嬉しい限りです。 2017-10-18 18:30:40 Source
