“What is Sashiko?”
I answer that “Sashiko is a process of appreciating the fabric, and adding our care into it. ”
Boro is an ultimate result of Sashiko.
We made it like a placemat and table runner. Totally one of a kind. 「刺し子とは？」
との質問に、「布を大切に想い、手を加える工程」と答えるようになりました。刺し子はプロセスであって結果じゃない。
そんな刺し子の温かい工程が詰まったのが襤褸なんじゃないかと。作品風に襤褸を仕立てています。こういうのもあり。

I really appreciate the interests in our Sashiko Workshop. The one in Lewisburg, PA (17837) is coming up next week (full). Since I would like to focus on the creative activity (like the previous Denim x Sashiko Project), I offer less workshop in NYC. I have a designated mailing list…
The concept of “Value” is so interesting and fragile. When we look at “an item” from the different angle, it will have the different (sometimes completely opposite) view. When I make Boro, I always wonder how the Japanese (in 300+ years ago) would think to the fact we are now…
Another day of editting photos. Sashiko with Natural Dye thread and vintage fabric look really good in the sun light. Beautiful one of a kind piece. 撮影した写真の編集日。 草木染めと古布で作る作品は、陽の光の中でバグツンのコントラストになるのです。 2017-03-29 10:58:48 Source
