atsushijp, 2021年11月4日

The Sashiko Face Mask we made in 2020, which I introduced on this account from scratch, is now being exhibited in ROM as a part of “Unmasking the Pandemic” Exhibition. It is a great honor to be part of this. Since it is difficult for me to travel to ROM now, they kindly send me photos. I also contributed some videos of my stitching to introduce what Sashiko is for the visitors. I made a video introducing this exhibition on Youtube. Please watch it!! (https://youtu.be/lJ93jtSMOS4). And if you can make a visit to ROM, please let me know what it looks like!

I know. It is strange. If you follow me here for a while, you know that I do not consider Sashiko as Art (yet). At the same time, I do humbly accept the admiration for Sashiko as Art. Since ROM explained the concept of this exhibition, I was happy to contribute without feeling uncomfortable, just a bit strange to see Sashiko in the case. There are many reasons why I do not consider Sashiko as Art. Some are available on SNS, Youtube and Patreon. It is, also, my time to learn more about the “Art”. I have so many “memories (PTSD)” from my childhood to say out loud that what I do is ART.

2020年、コロナ禍の中で娘がリモートで勉強するのを見つつ、隙間の時間で作ってた布マスク。カナダのロイヤルオンタリオ博物館(ROM)にて展示されております。カナダには行けないので、展示の写真を撮って頂きました。また、素材を提供して作って頂いた展示用の紹介動画も頂いて、Youtubeにまずは英語版をアップしました。日本語版も頑張って作ります(そもそも動画撮るのが本当下手。NGばっかり)。

ガラスケースに入れられた刺し子マスクは不思議です。ただ、「未曾有のパンデミックの中で、人がマスクに見出した表現や文化を残したい」という担当の方のお言葉に感銘を受け、作品をお送りしました。布マスクが有効かどうかなんていう議論もしてたくらいなのでね。定義をすると窮屈になります。ただ、(英語圏では特に)定義をしないと前に進みません。では、定義をしないまま定義の輪郭を作れないか。そんな願いと共に今も刺し子を紹介し続けています。って、ほんと、過去3年間言ってる事変わってないな……。「定義の輪郭」とかわかりにくい表現ですが、過去に使った記憶あるもんな。

Words Matter. It is so sad to see “Sashiko” and “Boro” become whatever: or whatever they make become Sashiko and/or Boro. There aren’t Right and Wrong in Sashiko Stitchery in terms of “what one should do”. However, “whatever with intentionally ignoring what they can be” is wrong from a cultural…

I am sharing a series of Sashiko Stories here in my second language because of unfortunate misunderstandings of Sashiko in English. The misinterpretation happens because of the difference in our “Common Sense (Expectation to others)”. Therefore, please read what is written here instead of what you think I would write….

    My great grandmother used to embroider each little dish towel she got with a day of the week so she could remember to change them out daily. It was beautiful work, but I think you’d have a hard time convincing her it was art, too. It was just something she did for utility. It was functional. To her it wasn’t art, beautiful as it may have been.
