Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

It was such a delightful weekend – having several “Live Session” with our Sashik

atsushijp, 2020年8月31日

It was such a delightful weekend – having several “Live Session” with our Sashiko friends – who learned “Unshin” from us. It is my sincere pleasure to see their rhythm in stitching.

☆

I sometimes hear that it is impossible to stitch a whole denim with Sashiko. Many start the Online Sashiko Class with me doubting if they can stitch as we do (the same speed with the same accuracy). In live sessions, I can see them “seeing the path” to be able to stitch. Soon or later, they can stitch a whole denim within a matter of a few weeks. One told me that’s how I can be qualified as a good teacher (She told me so because I kept saying I don’t consider as a good teacher yet). 

☆

When one does Sashiko in the rhythm, the stitches start telling us stories. Since the stitcher doesn’t focus on the “accuracy”, the stitches themselves start mirroring who/how the stitcher is. When one doesn’t focus on the stitching itself, then the result will get accurate. I am just sharing “how” to do & not to do that. Sashiko is more than making beautiful & even stitches. Once the rhythm is there, the result will be automatically even & beautiful.

Zoom越しのミーティングだらけの週末でした。めちゃくちゃ大変でしたが、でもやっぱり、顔を見て、一緒に刺し子のリズムを感じて、そして「あ、うん、これできるわ」という表情とか針目を見るのが、何よりもの喜びです。何度も言ってますが、運針できるようになって少しすると、「あれ?淳の運針って、そんなに遠い所になくね?」と思うようになります。それで良いんです。 すぐ追いつけます。すぐ追い抜かれます。でも、そこら辺まで来ると、好みが強くなってきます。上手下手では測れない、「自分らしい運針」ができてくるのです。日本語での運針会でご縁を頂いて、自分なりの運針を見つけ出した方に沢山励まされてきました。そして今、英語圏でも沢山励まされています。言葉もだけど、針目を見る度に、「あぁ、やって良かったなぁ」と励まされるんですよね。ある日「俺より上手やん!」と口にしてしまったら、「(淳より上手かもしれないけどw)淳がいなければここまでこれなかった」って最高の褒め言葉を頂いて。嬉しいです。本当に。

45th day of “Stay Home (since my daughter started staying home)”. The extraordinary days became somewhat the ordinary, yet it is just an adjustment and our body & mind are not as ordinary as they appear. In those extraordinary days, we breathe very shallow. “Shallowness” is not good in both…

We appreciate the admiration of us as artists. Some call our Sashiko items (products) ”Wearable Art”. Sashiko’s true beauty indeed exists in the ordinary days, not behind the show-case. 用即美 (YoSokuBi – Beauty in Using) is the principal of Sashiko and Japanese Folk crafting. ☆ It is the sincere pleasure…

I am glad that the analogy I made yesterday was helpful to understand my message. It was an analogy. This is not an account to define/discuss what is “The Pizza”. Yesterday’s post was more about sharing my fear in Cultural Appreciation. Today, it is more like a wish I have…
