Thanks to a big interest in Sashiko, yes, I come across the haters occasionally. They call me “arrogant”, “over-reacting”, “intimidating”, and blah blah. I don’t like haters. However, I don’t care about haters. They do not change what I do because those haters will not continue Sashiko. They do Sashiko for different reasons – popularity, publicity, title, marketing, business, and you name it. ☆
What I worry about is the cultural repaint by those who “think they know Sashiko” with no intention to disrespect. They live in the belief of individualism (freedom – therefore insecure of what they do). They are a victim of marketing. There are many teachers who teach “Sashiko”. Sometimes, we can be as pure as a white paper to understand one perspective. The same goes for what I say. Because I want you to see the different perspectives of Japanese Sashiko, I created a tag – If one defines the Sashiko as the “authentic”, then it is no longer the authentic Sashiko. The Sashiko exist in the ordinary, and the ordinary cannot be defined by anyone but themselves.

日本で刺し子を教えていらっしゃるという方を見かけることがあります。是非いつか受講してみたいなぁと思っています。一目刺し、こぎん、菱刺し。まだまだ僕は一部の刺し子しか知りません。もっと知りたい。世界にも沢山の「刺し子の先生」がいらっしゃいます。「違和感満載」のワークショップだったりします。
☆
刺し子は誰のものでもないので、誰が何をどう教えようと自由だと思っているのですが、同時に、「本で読んだ知識と少しの練習だけで先生を名乗れるだけの面の皮の厚さは日本的じゃないなぁ」と思うのです。普通日本人の方に、「上手ですね〜刺し子の先生やりませんか?」って声かけても、だいたい「私なんか無理です」になりますし。
☆
何が心配かというと、その面の皮の厚い先生から教わった方が、「刺し子はこれだ!」と一面だけを理解してしまうこと。刺し子の先生が一番最初に伝えなきゃいけないことは、「刺し子は日常に存在したから絶対的な正解はない」ということだと思うんです。禅問答みたいですが、「俺から学べ。でも俺の言うことだけを信じるな。」といのは、僕のいつも念頭においている(誰から教わったか忘れたけど大切な)言葉です。

Please do not fear the word of “tradition” or “rule” when you enjoy Sashiko. I would rather you try Sashiko first than thinking about it too much. After all, it is just a form of hand-stitching. However, when you decide to call your work Sashiko after you get comfortable in…

Right after I took some photos of Sashiko fabric I have been working on Friday (after the Live Streaming), I felt the pretty bad chill, and then end up staying in bed for 48 hours… Thank you for messages worrying about Keiko’s with the recent typhoon. She is okay. ☆…

    なぜか最後の一文を見た時に、竹原ピストルさんの「よー、そこの若いの」という曲が頭に浮かんでしまいました。
