Is Sashiko Art…? I feel Sashiko is not Art.

Is Sashiko Art…? I feel Sashiko is not Art.
☆
A big theme to discuss. I spent more than 30 minutes talking in Live Streaming (Archive available on Youtube). As of now, I feel Sashiko is NOT Art for MANY reasons. I know you would disagree with me. I need more education to learn “Art”, yet I feel unnatural to call Sashiko Art at this point. I will keep saying Sashiko is NOT (Fine) Art. Please keep convincing me that Sashiko is Art if you believe so strongly. Just please. Please do not use the word “Art” as an excuse to not to learn the basic & tradition. I have MANY stories that I do not think Sashiko as Art. Your convincing are, hopefully, more than “just because”.

刺し子はアート(芸術)か。インスタグラムで”ほぼ毎日投稿”を始めてから、時々話題になるこのテーマ。ま、結論を言うと、「現時点で、僕はやっぱり、刺し子は芸術じゃないと思う」というのが立ち位置です。これ、英語で紹介すると相当意見が飛んできます。良いんです。どこかで、「刺し子はアートだ!」と変わるかも知れません。実際、26人の麻の葉タペストリーは芸術作品ぽいし。でもね、刺し子そのものをアートと呼ぶには、まだ僕の知識も教養も足りません。さーて勉強です。

ただね。刺し子を額にいれると、魅力が半分以下……っていうか……不自然というか……(笑)

I appreciate the feedback that they like my writing – some even say it is like a poem. The instructor in the Writing Center (in Collage) will be proud of (or even surprised at) this feedback. Well. I am aware that my English isn’t very good in the most standard….

I concluded the 400 seconds presentation on @SelvedgeMagazine with a statement: “Sashiko was a Japanese form of stitching to pray for another day to live…” Then, I received a request to elaborate what I meant by “praying”. Yes, it is my pleasure to do so. However, it requires some conditions…

I had another great Live Streaming on Youtube (I call it “Sashiko Talk”). Big thanks to @scsarchet for being my conversation partner to enrich our learning. The more we talk, the more “difference” we realize. When we communicate at the Superficial level to “spend time” together, the profound understanding of…

    例えば、普段着ている刺し子の半纏が着ない時に壁に掛けてあったら絵になると思う。でも、見て楽しむために飾るのは嫌では無いけどやっぱり違和感があります。

    刺し子は芸術性を持っていると思っていますが…額に入ると「あれっ?」となりますね!やはり「生き物」なのですね。生活、日常に息づくもの

    また何度もごめんなさい。固定されることで永遠になるものと、あるがままで躍動するものとの違いを思いました。表現だけではなくて実用一本槍でもなくて「息遣い」(というのかな?)が本体なところが魅力的です

    I’m learning about sashiko, beautiful in itself, my thought is to add it to some of my art, but I don’t know if I would call the stitching on its own art. It certainly feels like some strong personal style in clothing.

    On the other hand, when you plan a piece or clothing using sashiko, there is artistry in the placement of stitches and patterns and the patience and time it takes for stitching. In this way, to honor all the parts of sashiko and the person who created it, sashiko because art, with a specific expertise and creativity.
