I received a positive feedback to what I wrote on Patreon – about Mottainai and Sashiko. I have been writing long journals on Patreon where I can feel safer. It is my pleasure to share – and therefore, I want a reader to be serious & mindful. Patreon is a place for that. It is always good to receive a warm message to what I wrote. “Mottainai” is famous word for “recycle and reuse”, but it is more than that.

The wrongfulness in “Food on Boro” will be one of the longest journals…5 days passed, but not yet completed. I will probably shorten it for the public, then share the whole in Patreon. It is funny that I completed the article in Japanese a week ago… it explains the difficulty of describing “what is so different” in the 2nd language to the audience who may not be familiar with the culture I write about. This photo with Zouri slipper makes more sense in Boro… but there are more stories beyond “Boro isn’t clean” from Japnese folklore perspective.

Your support on Patreon is very much appreciated. While other Sashiko sellers make “kits” and get busy in advertising, I write to share what Sashiko really is. I have not published a book (yet – hopefully soon) because I want to keep writing what I want to (instead of what the market expects). I believe my days prove that I care “passing down the culture” more than anything… however, I have to make ends meet. Your support will help me to keep sharing. There are several articles available for free. Please check our Patreon page → https://www.patreon.com/sashiko

襤褸にはやっぱり草履が似合う。こういう使い方をしていたかどうかは不明ですが、でも食器よりはしっくりきます。様々な思いも含め、日本語での文章を書く機会が増えてきました。師走のお知らせも沢山。Baseストアの期間限定セール、福袋、運針会……。IGだと文字制限があって書ききれないので、@sashiko_dad をフォローして頂けると嬉しいです。”国際結婚＆米国移住した主夫”という、刺し子とはあんまり関係ない写真も投稿してますが、僕という人間を知ってもらえたらなぁと思っています。刺し子がメインですが、でも今の刺し子に辿り着くまでにはいろいろあったので。
