Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

“I am the past. You are the future”. ☆

atsushijp, 2020年2月23日

“I am the past. You are the future”. ☆

In while workshop, when I talk to some quilters, this phrase came out naturally. I am the past. You are the future. I do NOT mean that I am old-dated or unimportant. The past is the foundation of the future. As I keep saying, I encourage people to call their stitching Sashiko as long as they respect the tradition – the tradition is the “past”. ☆

I met a lot of “futures” in these 4 days. I am in the box of “Sashiko”. I keep speaking out for Sashiko. Someone gotta do that, right? Don’t be scared. However, please keep learning so I would do the same. One culture can be as deep as generations of someone’s life. Books may not be “whole” enough to understand one culture. I enjoyed very much, and seeing many rising stars. Hope to come back sometime soon. ☆ – – – ☆

沢山のキルターに会い、ふと出てきた言葉が、「僕は過去で、貴方は未来だね」という言葉。これは決して、僕が過去に生きていて古くて重要じゃないという訳ではありません。未来を作る為に、過去を丁寧に知ることはとても大切です。過去を知らずに未来を語るのは危険です。だからこそ、過去でである僕は情報を発信し続ける必要があるし、未来のスターの制作過程のどこかに刺し子を取り入れて貰って一緒に未来を作れることは、何より光栄なことだと思うのです。 ☆

書籍も過去の”情報”です。しかも、大凡一方通行。「生きている過去との会話を楽しんでほしい」と伝えたら爆笑されました。でも、本音です。過去を未来に繋げるのが僕の役目なのかもしれません。 ☆

I always wished for a specific mentor in my life. I don’t have it, unfortunately. However, I have many “teachers” from books, and many respectful people who brighten my life. One of them is a founder of a NPO/NGO in Japan. ☆ He says, “Keep narrating the story. You may…

(From the previous post) One of the core approach of “Morita Therapy” is “あるがまま (Aru-ga-mama)” which can be translated to “as is / acceptance”. In my learning of psychology, this was an eye-opening moment. ☆ When we (West) experience illness, we try to remove it from our body as if…

Thank you for your time to write comments in the previous post. I am, of course, aware that not everyone agrees with what I say, but receiving a reply “Shame on You” for sharing my feelings was confusing. ☆ It isn’t easy to share a (meaningful) message every single day…

    I had a fabulous time and learnt so so much. It was the highlight of @Quiltcon2020. My other hand work has been replaced and I am very focused on improving and what projects to make. I think you have converted us all into your advocated! 😍
