Don’t get me wrong. I am quite angry.
I would have stopped sharing Sashiko in English if I have not met many friends from Sashiko Workshops (both in-person and Online). I would have restricted the audience to only Japanese-speakers if I didn’t get to know the supportive people from Patreon. I accept the change, but I do not tolerate ignorance of the Japanese culture (courtesy).

Questions are fine – but be mindful before you ask. Then when you ask, respect the courtesy. I am not “Google” which gives you a quick answer. One says, “I cannot search the words on SNS, so it is difficult to go back and find what I want”. Go back to read all of my posts, watch all the Youtube stories, then you “may” get what you want. If you need a short cut, then spend some money to come to learn. Why the F○○○ do I have to give you what you want for free? Again, Sashiko is my (our) culture based on so many years of practice and thinking – not a trend you are “just” interested. ☆

僕の運が良いだけかもしれませんが、日本語で刺し子を紹介する際に「クレクレさん」に出会ったことがありません。でも英語だと、この「クレクレさん」が本当に多い。”無料”で、”なんでも”、「クレクレ」言ってきます。なんなら、「クレクレさん」よりも酷い「命令口調のロ＆ロさん（教えろ）」もいらっしゃいます。なんで無料で俺がお前に教えなきゃいけないんだよ。アホか。

厚顔無恥という言葉。これ、もしかしたらとても日本的なのかもしれません。「刺し子の定義は？」という質問に、「以前の投稿（記事＆動画）で自分なりの定義出してるからそれ見て」と返事すると、「SNSでは検索機能が無いから、淳の返信は助けにはならない。がっかり。」と恥を上塗りするような返事。怒りがきっかけで文章を書き、その文章で更に怒りを増幅させる。永久機関です。怒るの疲れるから嫌なのに。

「アホか」に爆笑🤣
❤️
Hermoso trabajo 👏👏👏gracias por compartir
I am so sorry to hear what happened. But there are rude people out there, plenty of them, just ignore them. Some American children are not being taught manners any more. They are so disrespectful. A lot of places in the South, children still are taught to say, “yes Ma’am, no Sir”. It is so pleasant when you see and hear this. The culture in the Deep South is still respect. I saw where you are coming to Austin. Your class is already Full. I think you will really enjoy Austin, even though it is not considered Deep South, most people are very friendly, and pleasant.

本当にこれですよね。私が同じ状況ならきっとこれを定型分にして返信するわ🤔
Gratitude, responsibility, and generosity are all part of the road we walk—whether student or teacher—when we engage in/with educational service. Thank you for this reminder that Instagram is a platform, not an entitlement, and that real, human people develop the content we encounter here. 🙏 #notabot
For every rude idiot there are many more of us quietly and respectfully reading and learning from your posts. Try to ignore those who (in the words of my mother) “just like to hear themselves talk.” Entitlement is, unfortunately, rampant in our society; all we can do is disregard it and keep moving forward 💙
Great 💙💙💙
自分で探して読まないのねー
I’m sorry that people are thoughtless and disrespectful of your culture. I am American and often I find Americans rude and disrespectful. I apologize deeply. I admire your work and respect you are honoring your heritage. Thank you for sharing so generously with so many.
文化の違いなのか時代なのか。最近は受動的なものに溢れてますもんね。情報が簡単に(無料で)手に入ると思われがち。誰もダンジョンマップを手描きしようとは思わないんでしょうね。学ぶ、というのは能動的な行為のはずで、そこに楽しさがあると思うんです。人んちの引き出し全部開けて、道行く人全員に話を聞いて、手に入れた手掛かりから自分で考えてこその冒険(DQ風)。
Wow😍👏
Well said
I’m sorry that you ate going through this. A big issue I think is lack of respect. I feel that “ignorance”
