[Sashiko] is not a word to describe the visible mending. [Boro] is not a word for patchworking with recycled fabric. When I say [Sashiko/Boro] is NOT ___, many demand me to offer the alternative definition as if there is a single line to describe the whole culture. Unfortunately, as no single line can describe someone’s whole life, Sashiko and Boro do not have such a thing as “answer” – we have our traditions, but not the “answer” in the form of instant gratification.

I wanted to introduce our tradition somehow, though. It is our (Japanese) responsibility to speak up when the culture is “misrepresented” by non-Japanese (unless there is a solid foundation in the origin). I teach a class/workshop to make it happen – but I can only take a few students every month… It has been a painful 5 years since I kept saying [Sashiko/Boro] is NOT___ without offering a recommendation. Now, I have my follow-up recommendation when I say [Sashiko] is not a word to describe the visible mending. [Boro] is not a word for patchworking with recycled fabric. The course is very basic. You probably want more after completing it – 3 hours of lectures are going to encourage you to learn more – of course, I cannot offer a single line to describe the whole. I mentioned Boro in the course, too. Please check it out & link it on “Stories”. If you complete it already, please leave the review. The amount of reviews will push them (Domestika) to make more videos, & it would be very helpful especially if you want more follow-up courses.

こうして刺し子についての投稿をしたり、また毎週の配信をしていて思うのは、ご縁を頂けることへの感謝です。星の数ほどあるインターネット上の情報の中から、私の発信する物語や思いに時間を割いて下さること。そして、それが私の大切にする刺し子の未来へ繋がること。本当に嬉しく思います。「刺し子への思い」という意味では、2008年からブログを書き始めました。環境が変わり、文章を書く場所も変わりましたが、文体含め、伝えたいことの本質は変わっていないんじゃないかなーと思っています。価値観は180度変わっているので、求めているものは変化しているとは思いますが、是非昔のブログを見つけたら目を通して頂けると嬉しいです。
