I stated, on @SashikoStory, that all the fabric has the possibility of being “Boro”. It probably clarifies what Sashiko & Boro are. A process of adding stitches to a piece of fabric is called Sashiko (in broader definition). It is the beginning of a journey of the fabric with meeting many different fabrics. After a long & inspirational journey, the fabric will reach to one place right before the end of its journey. The point where they stopped, we call it “Boro”.

This analogy of Boro may also clarify the reason I keep sharing the importance of Sashiko Thread & Needles. Sashiko is just a start of the journey of its fabric. Therefore, it is important to have the suitable threads & needle for its possibly long journey, like you would like to have a good Food & Vehicle for the long great journey.

It is true that “whatever threads & needles” are okay for Sashiko. However, people who offer this type of advice often do not know the existence of this “journey”. We keep using the specific threads & needles as we know it is just the beginning of the journey, and I want the owners/users to enjoy the long-lasting & pleasant journey with our Sashiko.
