Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

“I am the past. You are the future”. ☆

atsushijp, 2020年2月23日

“I am the past. You are the future”. ☆

In while workshop, when I talk to some quilters, this phrase came out naturally. I am the past. You are the future. I do NOT mean that I am old-dated or unimportant. The past is the foundation of the future. As I keep saying, I encourage people to call their stitching Sashiko as long as they respect the tradition – the tradition is the “past”. ☆

I met a lot of “futures” in these 4 days. I am in the box of “Sashiko”. I keep speaking out for Sashiko. Someone gotta do that, right? Don’t be scared. However, please keep learning so I would do the same. One culture can be as deep as generations of someone’s life. Books may not be “whole” enough to understand one culture. I enjoyed very much, and seeing many rising stars. Hope to come back sometime soon. ☆ – – – ☆

沢山のキルターに会い、ふと出てきた言葉が、「僕は過去で、貴方は未来だね」という言葉。これは決して、僕が過去に生きていて古くて重要じゃないという訳ではありません。未来を作る為に、過去を丁寧に知ることはとても大切です。過去を知らずに未来を語るのは危険です。だからこそ、過去でである僕は情報を発信し続ける必要があるし、未来のスターの制作過程のどこかに刺し子を取り入れて貰って一緒に未来を作れることは、何より光栄なことだと思うのです。 ☆

書籍も過去の”情報”です。しかも、大凡一方通行。「生きている過去との会話を楽しんでほしい」と伝えたら爆笑されました。でも、本音です。過去を未来に繋げるのが僕の役目なのかもしれません。 ☆

“Sustainability”, “Mindfulness”, “Uycycle”, and “Attentive to Details (Slow)”… we use these words as something new to improve our lives in 2023. As far as I know, in Japan, these words were part of their “ordinary”. These words weren’t something to achieve. They were there already, and we unfortunately forgot (or…

Another profound Live Streaming on last Thursday (9/22), I believe. The theme was quite “big” to talk about – “Is Sashiko Art?” and “What is Art anyway”. When we discuss these questions in English, we tend to think about the way we talk – which has the foundation of Western…

Preparing some photos for the workshops in NYC on this Saturday for what “Sashiko” can do. We sometimes receive the feedback that they are a bit “Intimidated (probably too much Sashiko?)” by our jacket reference/sample. However, besides the skill of patchworking and tailoring as the Jacket, the core part of…

    I had a fabulous time and learnt so so much. It was the highlight of @Quiltcon2020. My other hand work has been replaced and I am very focused on improving and what projects to make. I think you have converted us all into your advocated! 😍
