I am enjoying the afterglow of Sashiko Workshop. I always let my feelings align

atsushijp, 2024年7月5日

I am enjoying the afterglow of Sashiko Workshop. I always let my feelings align with the experience from the workshop before moving to the next action. It is an important process as I consider teaching as an “opportunity to pass it down”. Being serious & responsible for what I teach will, hopefully, preserve the cultural aspect of Sashiko along with techniques.
☆
Many “experienced Sashiko Stitchers” come to my workshop. Some of them actually teach Sashiko, yet they have the humbleness to come. I sincerely respect them. This also proves what I teach isn’t well introduced in English. None of my students (including those who have been teaching Sashiko for decades) find my workshop boring or mediocre. In most cases, they find it “challenging” and “uncomfortable” first, then leave the workshop with some “vision” to be one of Sashiko Artisans.
☆
What I teach isn’t about beginner or advanced. I am teaching Sashiko which has been ignored for decades… and I just happened to be “found” in a trend of Sashiko. The number of workshops I offer is limited, so if you find a space, please consider joining. It will be an eye-opening experience (especially if you think you know Sashiko already).
☆
It is Thursday & Live Streaming Day. It is the 4th of July, but I try to be online at 9 pm EST. I don’t know how long I will be online, but it would be good to catch up.

本日の配信も良い時間を過ごすことができました。一部だけを切り取られてしまうと誤解を招いてしまうことも話としていて、どうやって配信として残そうか迷いましたが、「ありのまま」を大切にしたく、そのまま残しています。アーカイブをご覧頂ける場合は、通しで聞いて頂けると誤解となる危険性は少ないかなと思っています。
☆
ハレとケの存在から、刺し子の本質の話に発展しました。ただ、刺し子に対する願いはとてもシンプルなものなのです。それは「実際に刺し子をしている人。刺し子と真摯に向き合っている人が報われる社会であって欲しい」ということです。この場合の「報われる」には様々な解釈がありますが、お金としての報酬もその一つだろうし、認知されるのも一つだろうし、もっともっと根本的なところで言うと、「刺し子を楽しめるだけの状況を維持できるだけのチカラ」は報われて欲しいと思うのです。実際に針を持たないまま、知ったかぶりすらせずに「刺し子とは」を語る人が、カネやコネで跋扈するような刺し子ではあって欲しくないのです。
☆
残念ながら、そんな「最低限の願い」すら叶わないことが多い社会ですが、だからといって諦めてしまう理由にはなりません。気持ちが良いことを読み、聞き、発信していれば、気持ちがいいまま終われる世の中なのかもしれませんが、それでは置いてけぼりになってしまう人や気持ちがでてしまいます。自分の庭だけ綺麗であれば、周囲の庭がどれだけ汚くてもどうでもいい…と言う考え方で刺し子とは向き合いたくないのです。刺し子の本質が日常に存在するから、余計に「当たり前に綺麗な庭」を目指すのが中道だろうと思うのです。

I have been feeling under the weather a bit for the last few days, and didn’t make a post yesterday. It is interesting to feel “unbalanced” when I do not have energy to make a post – it has become a part of my rhythm. Well, I am well enough…

I am on a journey of learning more about Sashiko/Boro, like you are. However, there are 2 statements I can make. 1. Sashiko is NOT the word for Pattern/Design. 2. Boro is NOT the word for specific stitching Technique. When one has a “western” mindset, they may feel, “Atsushi, instead…
