This is an archive of Sashiko Live Streaming in English, on Friday October 8nd.
I appcreiate many good questions on both Youtube & Instagram. I believe I read out loud the question before I answer the question.
I didn’t know the word & concept, “Cultural Appropriation”, until Spring of 2019.
I had to learn the impact of Cultural Appropriation when I was accused being “arrogant”, and some told me that “it is a freedom of choice, and Sashiko is the Art” when I asked them to respect the Japanese culture behind the word Sashiko.
Many worry about me when “Sashiko” is used in commercial situation.
Many ask me how I feel about those “usage” in Sashiko/Boro.
To be honest, I am okay “as long as they try to respect the Japanese culture”.
There are many articles & stories both on UpcycleStitches.com & our Youtube. Please check them out.
It was not the main topic of this Live Streaming. There were many interesting questions that I enjoyed answering. It would be great to learn from this educational Live Streamin on October 8th.
*I couldn’t talk about the topic of “Boro” I briefly mentioned in the beginning. I will do so in the next Live Session.
