Thank you for joining the Live Session last night (Jan.15th). It was a good one

Thank you for joining the Live Session last night (Jan.15th). It was a good one hour of sharing what is Sashiko/Boro for me as a Sashiko artisan. If you were new to the Sashiko Live, please keep reading this account, our website & Youtube. When you need a boost in learning, please consider our Sashiko Class/Workshop.

Before Sashiko became a trend, there were people practicing the Sashiko as we do today. 30 years ago, I was one of those. 20 years ago, I was one who wanted to get out. 10 years ago… I had a paradigm shift in Sashiko. In those years, I was lonely. At least, I felt lonely. Therefore, it is my biggest pleasure to get to know of people who are interested in Sashiko.

The Jacket is not my Sashiko. 14 rising artisans who took my workshop participated joined a project to make one big Sashiko Jacket. It is like having Keiko as a Conductor and asking them to play each instrument – and make one big piece. Everyone’s Stitching is beautiful in their way. They all communicate to the fabric in their way. I hope I am communicating that Sashiko “can” be more than what may be introduced today. The Live Streaming is available on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/c/SashiCo).

刺し子を通してご縁を頂いた方々のほんの一部をご紹介させて頂いた1週間でした。本当であれば全ての方をご紹介したいのですが、一度今日で区切りとして、また英語でコダワリ強く刺し子を説明するアカウントに戻ろうと思っています。

☆

刺し子。運針会。ご縁を頂いた方々は、とても大切な財産です。文章に書くと少し大袈裟に見えてしまうのですが、ずーっと刺し子で孤独を感じていました。だからこそ、「刺し子を学びたい」と思って下さる方は、とても大切な友達で、それだけで嬉しいのです。ましてや、ご縁を頂いた皆様と一緒に何かを作る企画ができるなんて。まだまだ上手に世の中に紹介できていませんが、皆様と一緒に作る「運針会ジャケット」や「◯◯人の麻の葉」は、刺し子好きの”何か”が沢山つまった作品として残ってくれると思っています。

☆

昨日の突然の配信、ご参加頂いた皆様ありがとうございました。運針会、また今年も続けていく所存です。素敵なご縁に感謝して。（配信のアーカイブはYoutubeにあります）。
