Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

I respect & admire “Artist”. “Art” makes us human. It is important to appreciate

atsushijp, 2020年1月26日

I respect & admire “Artist”. “Art” makes us human. It is important to appreciate Art and Artist. One can express themselves throughout the art. As you know already, I have a pretty open mindset toward Cultural Appropriation in Sashiko (Please read my website).
☆
What I am concerned about is not the “Art & Sashiko”. I am concerned those who use the word “art” as the excuse to not to learn the basic and deeper perspective (stories). Some modify the original shape, then start telling the others the beauty of “freedom”. If they are well aware of the origin (respect the tradition), then I have no concern. However, telling the others “Sashiko is art so you can do whatever” seems to be just too superficial. Again, don’t get me wrong. “(I perceive) Sashiko is art so I can do whatever” is fine (as long as one has respect to the Japanese culture). However, telling the others “Sashiko is art so you can do whatever you want” is not acceptable. Why? Because there are people who I would like to protect behind that “irresponsible freedom”. In Japanese culture, the essence may be hidden in the back (so one has to really try to learn).

「芸術」という言葉。日本だと格式張った感じがして、非日常の言葉として捉えてしまうのですが、日本国外では、もしかしたら日常の、或いは「自己を守るため」の言葉なのかもしれません。蜂の巣をつついている感じはしつつ、でもゆずれない所もあるので必死です。
☆
話は単純。昨年一年間で、自称他称含めて「刺し子の先生」がとっても増えました。刺し子を教えることに資格なんてないし、誰が刺し子の先生を名乗っても良いのですが、ひとつだけ超えては行けないラインがあります。それは、「刺し子を尊重してくれているかどうか」。刺し子を教えます!という中に、「刺し子はアートだから自由にしてもいいよ!伝統にこだわらないで!」という表現があったりします。うん。それは伝統柄を一通り刺せるようになってからのお話だと思うのですよ。昨日のジャズの話も然り。芸術が日常なのは良いけれど、基礎や伝統を蔑ろにはしてほしくないんです。求めすぎてますかね?基礎すら無視して伝統をも破壊するのが芸術なら、僕はやっぱり芸術家ではなく、守る人になりたいんだと思います。

This was unplanned project in the beginning. I just wanted to make a kind of “sample fabric” with the Pastel Colored Sashiko Thread. After improvising the plans so many time, it became kind of unusual but very cool Sashiko Jacket. ☆ Sashiko is all about enjoying the process of mending,…

I am slicing my life off to share what the Sashiko is for us. I am not sharing Sashiko only for “fun” or “money”. It is for my dignity. Sashiko is my identity. ☆ Some say, ‘’Any publicity is good publicity”. I agree. If my goal is to be “famous”,…

I have been very busy catching up with the regular work that I had skipped while I was in Japan. The more I work, the stronger I realize… not only do I like Sashiko, but I also “enjoy” Sashiko. Before 2011, Sashiko was “business” to me: “business” like a vehicle…

    人々は刺し子とボロを再解釈または再発明しますが、彼らは常に間違っています。 クラフトの真の愛好家は試みを通して見るでしょう、あなたは真のスキルを模倣し、その中の品質を見ることはできません。
