Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

atsushijp, 2020年10月3日

“Accepting” is much more challenging than “Giving up”. However, when you talk about someone’s culture, please try to accept “it” as is instead of interpreting “it” freely. And, please do not “give up”. When one gives up something, they start saying “Whatever”. I say there is no Right and Wrong in Sashiko. However, it doesn’t mean “whatever is fine” in Sashiko. There are many stories and lives behind the culture of Sashiko, and “try” to learn before “spreading”. 

☆

One advised me that I am fighting in the losing game. The trend will wipe away the origin after all. I agree with them. It is not a few times I had thought that I would give up on this journey. However, thanks to those who support me financially, mentally, and physically, I am still here to share. I accept where I stand, and will not give up. So, please do not give up on learning, and “try” to accept the Sashiko as is.

昨晩、「運針会の後の確認会」を以て、2020年の第3回運針会を完了致しました。次回運針会の具体的な日程は決まっていませんが、ご希望に応じて予定を立てますので、興味の有る方はプロフィールのリンクより「運針会について」というブログを一読頂けましたら幸いです。

☆

確認会は「数週間経ったけど、学んだ運針大丈夫ですかー?」という気楽な会なので(テストっぽいっていつも言われるけど)、話しながら刺し子をするだけの時間です。そんな話ながら刺し子ができる「居場所」を作りたいというのが僕の願いなのですが、同時に、「居場所を維持できる土台作り」にも力を注がなければと思っています。現代の社会では「作ることだけ」で生活を成り立たせるのは難しくなりました。「教える」「(材料やキットを)売る」という手段を取らず、純粋に「ものづくり」だけで暮らしている手芸作家さんって、とても少ないと思います。こと刺し子になると、いるのかな……?というくらい。時給換算なんぞできない手仕事なので、現代において「生活できるだけの仕事としての刺し子」って、ほぼ実現不可能に近いのですが、でも、その土台を作ろうとするのを諦めちゃ駄目だと思うんですよね。そして、きっと僕の仕事って、その土台を作ることも含まれると思うんです。土台あっての居場所だから。するべきことが沢山。でも、そんな使命を感じられる日々は幸せだと思うのです。

Sewing/stitching is a practice in the ordinary. No one can/should own “it”. Same goes to Sashiko/Boro. (But, please be advised that the words are Japanese.) By reading the stories here, some may find themselves in “comfortable confusion”, because they see many similarities between what I share and what they see…

It was such a great time stitching together with Keiko. The Boro we started “Sashiko-ing” together is now in my hands. It is exciting to do the Boro-Making with communicating to the fabric as well as what Keiko tried to do. ☆ We will go back to the regular routine….

Another mind food. Out of my curiosity, hoping to have an Ah-ha moment again. (I realize Ah-ha moment is quite addictive). ☆ I occasionally receive a comment like these: “The pain you feel is a valuable lesson” and “You (should) thank all those that love Sashiko”. I feel strange when…
