When I share my “idealism”, some advise me I shouldn’t keep it so high saying “It is how it works in this society”. I understand it. “Freedom” is the most important factor in this society, and asking for respect can be too much of a demand. Everyone is different. We have freedom to choose who we listen to. It is how it works in this society. As my friend says, it may be too late to share what the Sashiko/Boro is for us. However, it doesn’t mean that I should give up. I can keep talking. As long as there is one person who wants to learn what the Sashiko is for us, I will keep speaking up. Sashiko isn’t just a trend for me.

In today’s Live Streaming (Nov.20th), I feel I summarized my message pretty well. I don’t prepare the script & English is my second language. It isn’t easy to keep talking for 1 hour to share what I would like to pass down. Yet today, I feel I would like to re-watch my own Live again. I don’t want to be your “leader” of Sashiko. Leading you to a specific Sashiko is not in my interest. What I would like to be is to “support your Sashiko”. Again, I am the past, and you are the future. I am here to share all of the voices I have received. The Live is available on Youtube & IGTV. Youtube may have better sound & quality.

普段から言いたいことを言っているアカウントなのですが、今日の配信はより一層、思いを言葉にできたかなと思っています。「日本人の当たり前」を大切に言葉にし、そして過去→今→未来という流れの中での刺し子を知りたいというのが願いです。

配信でも話しましたが、理想は日本全国の刺し子職人さんを訪ね歩き、教えを請い学び様々な声を拾うことです。ただ、資金も、現状の僕の役目も、コロナ禍での制限も鑑みて、それは実現不可能な話です。だからこそ自分から情報を発信することによって、様々な学びを頂ければと思っています。一方的に「教えて下さい」というのも理想ですが、同時に「こんなんやってます！」という交流の方が、きっと顔を合わさない関係では形にしやすいのかな……と。自分の刺し子の枠がはっきりしているからこそ、違いも類似点も含め、やっぱり”知りたい”んでしょうね。知る所から始まると思うので。思いは配信でまとまっていると思います。IGTVでもYoutubeでも。知るために、知って頂く。まだまだ準備段階です。
