I am spending good time with my mother Keiko as if there were no “missing 5 years” between us. It was 2018 when we spent time together. However, not everything is the same. I guess Keiko is “evolving”… or 5 years of sharing “Sashiko Stories” changed me to really realize…

In my Sashiko Class (Online/In-Person), I of course teach Sashiko as “Technique”. However, what I intend to pass down is something beyond the technique: I call it “Japanese Ordinary”. In order to reach there, “technique” is a must to have. However, learning technique (completing the class) isn’t the end of…

If you are new here and our Youtube Channel, you may find me stitching only (mainly) on Indigo Dyed Fabric with White Thread. Because of these visuals, you may think that I am very “traditional” and “conservative” in Sashiko. In reality, I am the opposite. I like the combination of…

Ever since I started “Upcycle Stitches”, I have been focusing on sharing “something new” so that we can introduce the Sashiko the Western World (in English) do not know yet. It has been a great year, and it is about time to look back with what we have achieved &…

I am in FL for 3-days long Sashiko workshop – and it is my first time to offer the 3-days long. Once I thought 3 days may be too long to “fulfill”. However, after completing the 2nd day, I realize I have enough messages to share for 3 days. I…

If I were to have 3 days to share Sashiko – and how to apply Sashiko to their project, I thought I would have more time to take photos in the workshop. The answer is, nah… I realize I don’t have any photos from the workshop after the workshop. I…
