I appreciate many complimenting this Jacket as “Art”. It takes months (or even close to a year) to make one Jacket. All stitched by hands. Yes, this can be Art with its extraordinary character. However, it is the best when someone can actually “use” it. For that, although I keep…

A Wearable Art. A sample of Sashiko being Art. Very occasionally, we accept a Commission Work, especially when we request to make a Wearable Art with deep understanding of what Keiko can do. Some say Sashiko is Art. I say (in @SashikoStory), Sashiko isn’t Art yet but Sashiko can be…

Reposting due to errors. Sorry. エラーが続いたのでリポストです。 ☆ As much as I say I do not consider Sashiko as the Art (Sashiko “can be” Art), we are here continuing Sashiko thanks to those who consider our items as “Art” and invest in us a lot. Once she called our item “Wearable…

Photoshooting while re-arranging our items from the lovely Sashiko workshop in PA. This Jacket gets many compliments for its beauty. We appreciate that. On top of the beauty, this Jacket has an important message (story) as well. Some say that Sashiko requires “a knot”. It is fine to use knots,…

In a single word “Sashiko”, we can find many styles. It often differs based on the region, and they have their own traditionals – stories about Sashiko. Stories aren’t only for traditions. The sense of aiming to be “efficient” can simplify the fact, and let us see only what we…

If you are new here and our Youtube Channel, you may find me stitching only (mainly) on Indigo Dyed Fabric with White Thread. Because of these visuals, you may think that I am very “traditional” and “conservative” in Sashiko. In reality, I am the opposite. I like the combination of…

A Jacket like this takes about a year to complete, starting with “finding the best vintage fabric”. Other works can be done in much shorter time, but I no longer take commission work. (I used to, but I got tired of many inconsiderate interactions). When we become friends, I can…

This is the same Jacket in yesterday’s post. A bit different angle. Have you realized that this jacket has no “knots”? It is a single layered Jacket. What’s in the photo is mostly the “inside (hiding side)” of the Jacket. In Sashiko, the Japanese didn’t have the luxury to cover…
