atsushijp, 2020年2月16日

When I share photos of a big Sashiko project, like Sashiko Jackets or Sashiko Denims, I occasionally get a question, “Is it really hand-stitched”? The answer is, “Yes, it is hand-stitched”. I received the same question many times in my life that the question is no longer disrespectful. It may require a bit of “technique” and “wisdom” to complete this much stitching. If we make stitches one by one… we wouldn’t be able to complete the stitching (although it will require hundreds of thousands of hours regardless of the techniques). A photo of a close up of some Hitomezashi Sashiko. I hope you feel the beauty of hand-stitching there. The fabric & stitches “talk” to some people. ☆

刺し子はとても手間がかかる作業(仕事 / クラフト)です。ただ、日本的な考え方だと、「刺し子 = 手縫い」という、ある程度の共通認識があるんじゃないかなぁと思っています。「手刺しなの?(そんなに刺してて、手で刺せる訳ないよね)?」的な質問は、英語ではたまに頂くのですが、日本語では頂いた記憶がありません。刺し子ミシンもあるし、「手縫いじゃなければ刺し子じゃない」とも言わないくらい受け皿は広いのですが、やっぱり手刺しの魅力が、刺し子の魅力を作っていると思っています。一目刺し。遠くからみると、均整の取れたプリントのような柄に見えますが、拡大すると人間味のある針目なのですよ。針目は語ります。手相と同じように、「針目診断」も可能なほどに。「完璧な結果」だけじゃない所にある楽しさも伝われば良いなぁと思っています。

Sashiko isn’t only about (visible) mending. Sashiko isn’t only about stitching beautiful patterns. It is how the ordinary Japanese layered their ordinary days. I come across many interpretations of Sashiko. The culture should alter its form over time. I get that. But, someone needs to shout out, “This is the…

I often say “Sashiko(Boro) is NOT ___”. For example, I say, Sashiko is NOT a word for (visible) mending (although mending is an important part of Sashiko). When I say “Sashiko is NOT___”, some immediately demand answers and definitions saying, “then what is Sashiko?”. I understand their need in their…

    In this age of machine-made fabrics, it is sometimes hard to believe in the power of the human hand to create such beauty.
