“Traditional” does not equal “Limitation” or “Denial of Creativity”. Tradition (should) alter its form over time. So, when I ask for “Respect to the Tradition”, I am asking more like respect to the stories behind. I am perfectly fine with anyone calling their stitching Sashiko as long as they respect to the Japanese origin of Sashiko.

I talked about “definition”, “pattern” and “tradition (cultural appropriation)” regarding Sashiko on Live streaming. Is the photo traditional or modern? It is not me who decides that.

「オリジナル柄」という言葉を好まないのは、きっと其の柄を使うのは僕が初めてではないだろうなぁという想いがどこかにあるから。とはいえ、作品の個性を楽しむ為には、一つの柄に固執するのも、また可能性を狭くしてしまうわけで。僕が恵子さんを「刺し子アーティスト」かもしれないと思う理由は、彼女が運針以上に、柄の組み合わせに才能を発揮する所。運針会ジャケット然り。麻の葉プロジェクト然り。僕にはできない芸当です。

Wow!
Love these so much 💙
Would the grandmothers want the tradition to sclerose? No they would want it to continue and therefore grow and remain alive.

@folkhaus_adventures I thought you would find this info about this art form as interesting as I did. Tho as you read the posts you can see they clearly don’t consider this art, but mending to cover shame. Very lovely work here. I know you’ve been doing the visible mending thing and I have a stack of jeans I was going to do that to as well. This is a fascinating glimpse inside the origins!
So beautiful, perfect
❤️
