Anyone can make Sushi for their family. However, as a Japanese, I hope they explain what “Sushi” is to their family, especially for childrens who absorb new information. Stories & definitions about Sushi are available everywhere, especially if they know the Sushi’s origin is in Japan. They do not need to eat raw fish, but I do not want them to twist the fact that the Japanese love raw fish. ☆
Similar ideas go to Sashiko as well. Try “raw fish (something new)” first. You may like it. I am not going to force you. However, don’t pretend that the Sushi doesn’t include raw fish even without trying it. An issue of Cultural Appropriation is very complicated, but one’s care to “try to know even a little bit” will prevent a lot of issues. ☆ – – – ☆
刺し子をお教えしていて面白いのが、「食わず嫌い」をされている方に出会うこと。「運針は難しいだろう」と思われていて、食わず嫌いの状況にある方もいます。食べてみて嫌いだったら強制なんてしませんが、でも、食べてみてほしいなぁと思うのです。好きになるかも知れないし。刺し子とお寿司を並べて紹介する中で、食わず嫌いという言葉が思い浮かんだので、ふとご紹介を。それにしても、日本のお寿司（握り寿司）が食べたいなぁ。 ☆
