Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

Earth-Day. My daughter brought me a short essay about what she can do for the ea

atsushijp, 2022年4月22日

Earth-Day. My daughter brought me a short essay about what she can do for the earth. From the time of “consuming” the resources, we are now living in the society of “sharing it” with Earth – or thanks to Earth. I hope that Sashiko can contribute to this responsibility as human: with cultural sustainability as well.
☆
I spend my time in yard-working and house-chores as much as I can. Some advise me that I should focus on “Sashiko Business” when the demand is so high. Yes, outsourcing the chores would be a wise choice when I focus on “money”. However, since what I would like to pass down is as many stories as possible about “Sashiko”, these times working in the ordinary with using my own hands are quite important. This year, I could plow the soil in very nice weather on Earth-Day – appreciating good soil with these good helpers (warms).
☆
The key to sustainability, for me, is to understand the “line” instead of “dots”. We can focus on each dot, but we also need to understand that the dot may be a part of a line. The line is the foundation of a circle – which can be a circuration of sustainable days. Sashiko is like that, too. There were people for many years ago, then we are here, and there will be a future for Sashiko. Please keep learning – as Sashiko is not the marketing term for some superficial (instant) gratification.

晴れたアースデー。畑を耕しました。刺し子を伝えるようになってから一層、家事だったり庭仕事だったりという「当たり前」を大切に思うようになりました。刺し子が冬の仕事だったのは、冬の厳しい寒さという理由もありますが、同時に「夏は畑仕事で針持ってる場合でねえ」状態だったようにも思います。それは今でも続いていたり。

昨日の配信、有意義なものになりました。ありがとうございます。とても難しい題材なので誤解を招いてしまうこともあるかと思いますが、丁寧に語り続けられたらと思っています。刺し子について語ること。様々な思いはあると思いますが、私個人の気持ちとしては「どんどん語って欲しい」と思っています。何が正解かとか定義とか考えず、語るだけの思いがあるなら聞いてみたい。語る場所がないのであれば作ります。勿論、内に秘めて刺し子をされるのも素敵です。どんな本から学んだのか。どの動画で何を感じたのか。ここでご縁を頂いている皆様は、大切な大切な「刺し子の点」です。どの「線」に属するか、はたまた属さないのかとかはわかりませんが、でも、私の役割の一つが、その点を繋げて線にすることだと思っています。配信はどうしても一方的な会話になりますが、希望があれば語る場も喜んで作ります。そのお話が日本人の刺し子の大切な大切なピースなので。

Believe it or not, I am an introvert. I am too shy to talk to someone whom I don’t know well… so I apologize for “just eye-contact & smile” when you found me in QuiltCon. It is true me on the stage for lectures or right next students in the…

I have been talking a lot about “What is Sashiko I believe in” over my live-streaming (in Japanese). I plan to summarize what I talk in Japanese, and make a “Video Blog” on Youtube, such as the origin of Sashiko, what Sashiko used to be, what is boro, and much…

I receive many questions regarding “Am I correct?”. It is a kind question because it shows they care about the origin. Some do not even care if they are correct or not. However, as you may know already with following this account, it is not easy to define what is…

    Yes! I so get this – I love the image of focussing on the line rather than the dots. Thank you.
