Boro.

atsushijp, 2018年8月25日

Boro.
We “Make” Boro piece by patching and repairing the small Japanese vintage fabric, which can be in a trash bin because they are too small. The vintage fabric gets so small after washing them. We sometimes call it “fresh Boro” since it doesn’t smell or dirty
★
There are many explanation made by experts why the Boro piece, which means a piece of badly torn yet repaired fabric, is so beautiful. We believe a Boro piece is so beautiful because it is the result of caring the others. Not only the positive feeling of Love, a person probably cared the others by negative feelings. All of the feelings can be layered and stitched into the fabric. Therefore, it is beautiful.
★
We try to create the similar piece of Boro by layering our passions and hopes.

布と対話し、時代と空間を超越して「補修する」人と思いを重ねる。少し怪しい表現ですが、襤褸と向き合っていると、そんな瞬間があるのです。「あ〜。昔の人もこうやって布と思いを重ねていたのかなぁ」と。
★
襤褸の美しさには様々な説明がなされていますが、個人的には、この「重なった思い」がアートとしての価値を高めていると思っています。だから、美しさを感じる襤褸の中には、怖れ(畏れ)を感じてしまうものも。
★
Sashi.Coでは、一度全ての襤褸を洗い、汚れと埃と、んでもって少しだけ重なりすぎた思いを流し落として、更に思いを重ねています。新しい襤褸……とは言い過ぎだとは思いますが、普段使いできる不思議な襤褸を心かげています。

I am glad Sashiko Stories here resonate with some of you. It means a lot as I consider the Stories “Ordinary” – and finding others going through a similar experience encourages me to continue sharing. My Story can be “Your” Story. I am speaking up because “someone foreign” is rewriting…

“With Freedom Comes Responsibility. (Eleanor Roosevelt)”. More than ever, we face this powerful saying in Covid-19. I believe the similar principle apply to Cultural Appropriation (C/A).  ☆ As I keep saying, please do not worry about the C/A too much when you try to respect the people/stories behind the word,…
