Happy New Year! Thanks to much support from many of you, I can continue our business with Keiko in 2022 as well. Since “sharing Sashiko Story” is a much bigger priority now, I spend a lot more time in the account @SashikoStory. It is deeply appreciated if you could learn with us, shop from us, and support us in any form.

Sashiko has become very popular as a “technique” to mend the fabric, and possibly the world. I am happy that Sashiko, the ordinary practice I have received, is inspiring many people. However, due to the limited resources & tendency to demand for Instant Gratification, Sashiko itself has been filtered more than necessary. Since I am only one person in this business now, I need to ask for your mindful choice: to pass down the Sashiko the Japanese had (have been) practiced, not the Sashiko non-Japanese interpreted in their way. Upcycle Stitches is a place (company) where you can learn, purchase, and keep learning what Sashiko is for us, and eventually for you.

I will keep sharing “Why” it matters to us. If you have a bit of surplus, please consider learning from us. If you cannot afford it, please watch as many videos as you can on our youtube without skipping it. There isn’t such a thing as “Short-Cut Summary”. Either personalized message or self-realization. Your support & attention will preserve the cultural practice of Sashiko. Thank you!
