Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

I teach Sashiko in Japanese as well. As much as I often say that I am not worrie

atsushijp, 2022年3月14日

I teach Sashiko in Japanese as well. As much as I often say that I am not worried about Sashiko in Japan, there are some Japanese people who wish to learn the Sashiko we practice. I start the workshop by saying, “There is no such a thing as ‘Wrong’ Sashiko” and ask them to learn our Sashiko as one perspective of Sashiko. We can share many analogies of the ordinary Japanese expectation of “No Right and Wrong”. While I started teaching Sashiko in Japanese by request, with having no idea what to teach, now the community I create has been the most comfortable place for me to be, in Japanese, with Japanese people.

I often say that “Sashiko in English is NOT wrong, but insufficient”. I am also still learning what Sashiko can be for Japanese people from the other Japanese Sashiko artisans in Japan. At the same time, it doesn’t mean that “being (fluent in) Japanese” itself won’t validate (secure) what they teach/share. Teaching comes with responsibility, and I would like to make sure that my teaching will not exclude (filter, repaint, suppress) the whole picture of Sashiko: I know it is idealistic, but since I am talking Sashiko as a culture, I would like to leave no ShoSenpaiGata (senior Sashiko artisan)’s mind behind.

久々の運針会でした。不定期で開催していて、宣伝をしないと開催しない辺りやる気がないように感じられるかもしれませんが、なんだかんだで日本語の運針会が一番楽しかったりします。英語で刺し子をお伝えする際は、どうしても一方通行になってしまいます。そりゃそうです。日本的な針仕事をお伝えするので、日本の当たり前をお伝えしながら運針をお教えするとなると一方通行の授業です。日本語でも「お教えする」事には変わりないのですが、同時にお話を伺う中で、私自身が不安に思っていることを確認できたり、はたまた新しい発見を頂けたりと、とても素敵な時間になります。

「今の”居場所”が心地いい」と散々配信では口にしていますが、その居場所を作り上げてくださっている方の多くが、運針会でご縁を頂いた方々です。同じ目線で刺し子を見て下さる方がいることが、何よりも嬉しいのです。引き続きご縁を頂いたので継続して運針会を続けます。4月2日土曜日(朝9時開始)の運針会は、現時点では一杯です。続いて、4月21日木曜日(朝9時開始)にも開催できないか検討中です。もし4/21に参加できるぞ&したいぞ〜と言う方がいたら、ご連絡頂けると幸いです。昨日の運針会で、「いや、そんなんできないです」と言う言葉から数時間で指ぬきを使った運針をされているのを見て、やっぱり嬉しく思うのです。きっと刺し子ってこうして伝わってきた物だと思うから。

I often write: Sashiko/Boro is NOT ◯◯. I understand your wonder (or frustration) why I do not offer the correct definition instead of saying “NOT”. Well, as you may guess by now, since Sashiko/Boro existed in the ordinary, there is no “one correct definition”. It differs based on many elements….

The Japanese, who lived in a harsh condition with limited resources, stitched to “prevent” the mending. With following the proper wisdom, the fabric gets a lot stronger. Boro is a result of this tremendous repetition: “prevention”, “repair”, and “patchworking”. It is good that we enjoy the beauty of these pieces….
