Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

*

I had a great talk session with The episode is up on the air. As the interviewe

atsushijp, 2023年2月2日

I had a great talk session with @quilt.buzz. The episode is up on the air. As the interviewers learned what Sashiko is for us in advance of the talk session, the content is quite rich to understand what Sashiko is (for us). It may be quite different from what majority of people in English have heard about Sashiko – but this is one side of the stories & what it is, spoken by Japanese who have been actually stitching Sashiko for a while.

This may sound a bit arrogant, but I don’t think “Any Publicity is a Good Publicity”. The statement would be true when my goal is to get attention & monetize the flow. However, as my focus is trying to protect “Cultural Sustainability”, publicity has to be somewhat comprehensive. I agree that Culture Changes overtime. I just want it to be “Change”, not ignorance & indifference. Therefore, it is very important to know who is interviewing me. If an interviewer/writer/film-maker has their own message before they talk to me, then the stories will not be comprehensive – and end up encouraging ignorance instead of change. I really appreciate those who wish to learn Sashiko to have me for their media, and this “difficulty” is the reason that this account has so many posts, yet not so many publications on the 3rd party media. I am here, though. I am a real person with actual stitching as the ordinary. I hope you enjoy the podcast on Quilt-Buzz.

あまりメディア露出には積極的ではないのですが、時々しっかりと私の伝えたい刺し子を学んで下さった上で(ワークショップを受講頂く等して頂いた後で)、取材等のご依頼を頂くことがあります。今回のオーディオ番組もその一つ。既に「(私にとっての)刺し子とは」という核になるところは学んで頂いた上で、初めての方でもストレスなく楽しんで頂けるようなポッドキャストになっていると思います。英語ではありますが、是非お聞き頂けたら嬉しいです。

「英語と刺し子」という、まぁとんでもなく不思議な組み合わせで人生を組み立てている訳ですが、学生時代に必死になって「英語を勉強」して、「英語で勉強」する留学に至った後でも、ずーっと英語力不足には悩んでいました。当時は絶対に必要ないと思っていた日本への知識や思いが、今では英語力への不安を塗りつぶすほどの力を発揮してくれています。一番大切なのは「何を話すか」ということ。もちろんある程度の基礎能力は必要でしょうが、どれだけ言語能力が高くても話す内容が薄っぺらかったら本末転倒という話なんだろうと思います。まだまだ下手な英語で、発音も中途半端、文法に至ってはぐっちゃぐちゃですが…それでもこれだけの方が興味を持って聞いて下さることに感謝しつつ、私なりの社会への還元ができたらと思っています。「英語に興味があるけれど、何を話していいか不安でわからない」という刺し子好きな方へ、その一歩を踏み出す勇気を共有できる場所を作り続けたいと思っています。(毎月英語で刺し子の集まりをやっているのでご参加ください!!)。

Continued from the previous post.  ☆ 【This proves your authenticity】I have never referred to my Sashiko as “The Authentic Sashiko”. However, my stories are authentic because they are my memories. The fact I can stitch is also authentic because I can. I don’t know if I am authentic or not,…

The photos I have shared in the last few posts are quite beautiful with detailed patchworking & Sashiko stitching. Each photo is beautiful, but they are like “individual trees” in the whole forest. Accumulation of these small Sashiko stitching fabric makes a great jacket like this. The photos were the…

We hand-dye the thread. As much as we would like to maintain the stability in colors, it is impossible to create the “exact” same color. When we have the color which is too different from numbering, we put them asides. Then, when we have time, we make a small thread…

    I don’t think it is arrogant in any way. I think it is very wise to carefully choose your publicity. I’m very glad you’ve had this great talk.
