“Tradition” is a tricky word. As much as I like the traditional look of Sashiko, my message is “to respect” the tradition – My message is NOT limiting the creativity by tradition. Words are not enough because we read what we want to read. What I am writing here is simple and consistent. Please care for the Japanese (culture, mindset, philosophy, stories, the ordinary, and people behind) Sashiko. One example of “caring” is a willingness to learn. What I will fight back is ignorance, which could lead to minimising my reaction. ☆
Photo is a surface of non-traditional Sashiko by Keiko. Can you guess what kinds of fabrics Keiko used to make this unique appearance? It is not Boro. The answer will be in the next post. Enjoy the Live Steaming talking about what “tradition” is for Sashiko.

今日の配信もありがとうございました。面白い写真を。ある刺し布の表面の写真なのですが、どんな布を使ったと思うか、ご感想を聞かせて頂けたら嬉しいです。ちょっとした刺し子クイズかな。古布には間違いないのですが、襤褸とも少し違う……不思議な布地です。恵子さんから最初説明を受けたときは、他の作品も沢山一緒に送られてきたので「ふーん」と聞き流してしまい、その後何ヶ月間、この布地を手元において、絶妙な存在感に気がついた次第です。で、もう一度話を聞いて、そりゃ凄いな……と。次の投稿でなんの布を使ったか答え書きますね。
