Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

*

People say, “You can enjoy Sashiko as you wish”. Using a thimble or no thimble.

atsushijp, 2019年11月15日

People say, “You can enjoy Sashiko as you wish”. Using a thimble or no thimble. A knot or no knots. I agree with them we all have options to choose from. Some of Sashiko in Japan use a thimble, the other Sashiko don’t. ☆
The Sashiko we practice has stories behind all of our practice. There is always an explanation to “Why”. Why no making knots? Is the knot secure? Why thimble? I am answering those questions in the Workshop as well as on Patreon. The stories with logic (to make their Sashiko better) is called wisdom. My goal is to share that. The opinion is what an individual makes unique. However, isn’t it too superficial to say, “it is up to an individual opinion”, without trying to appreciate the wisdom in sharing the culture? Including myself, the Japanese aren’t very good at insisting. However, it doesn’t mean our silence equal to “whatever”. It is my challenge to go beyond my comfort zone, little by little, but I am determined to share what I have received. ☆

「刺し子には正解も間違いもない」というのが僕の大前提です。でも刺し子が流行になるにつれ、やっぱり「正解はどれだ?」という質問が溢れてきます。願わくば、刺し子を正解か間違いかで判断するのではなく、”なぜなのか”という所まで思いを馳せて欲しいのです。運針も重ねも刺し子糸も、残ってきたものにはそれなりの理由と物語があります。理不尽な文化は、結局の所、残りません。だって人間、無駄は省くし苦しい習慣からは逃れるようにできていて。主張を恥と思わない声の大きい「誰か」が提示した「正解」を鵜呑みにせず、楽しむ中で思いを馳せて欲しいんです。これは僕が言うことに対しても一緒。ここ数年、声を大きくする努力をしてきています。目立ちたがり屋なのに臆病なので、ずーっと表舞台には立ちませんでした。が、ちょっとだけ快適ゾーンを広げて、頑張ろうとしています。声が大きくなっています。でも、僕が言うことを全て鵜呑みにしちゃ駄目です。自分なりに考えて、自分なりの刺し子を見つけて欲しいんです。そうやって残るものこそが、「刺し子」だと思うんですよね。

“Cultural Sustainability” – while it sounds clean (content) words, it requires a lot of labor & attention to maintain. Some don’t want to talk about “money” when it comes to our creation, but it is an inevitable topic. Money isn’t the goal for us, yet money is an important vehicle…
