Photoshooting while re-arranging our items from the lovely Sashiko workshop in PA. This Jacket gets many compliments for its beauty. We appreciate that. On top of the beauty, this Jacket has an important message (story) as well. Some say that Sashiko requires “a knot”. It is fine to use knots,…

I am here to share the Sashiko we practice. The majority of people here understand what I am trying to share – the stories developed in the different culture from theirs. At the same time, I have numbers of “trolls (haters)” as well. I believe it is because I say…

It is an honor to have several opportunities to talk in public this Spring both lectures & interviews. To be honest, I used to feel uncomfortable having an “interview” or a request to share my thoughts. Before Sashiko became this popular, they expected me to say something specific they wanted…

It is unfortunate that there aren’t many “(Art) Catalogue” for Sashiko pieces published (in English) with proper description. Well, as always, there are reasons why “No so many Catalogue”. Sashiko is still on-going craftsmanship (although it is about to distinguish). One famous (Sashiko) book with great photos & description would…

I had an audio interview with a bright future journalist. She found my stories interesting in which I thought it wasn’t so extraordinary. If the ordinary for Japanese people can be the extraordinary (in a positive way) to the world, then what I do can contribute to the better. In…

Another Masterpiece from Sashi.Co & Keiko Futatsuya. I wonder how many of these fantastic Sashiko Jackets can be produced. In Covid Pandemic, we realize the importance of appreciating the “normal”. What we can do is to simply keep stitching with hope to be able to make another one again. ☆…

Happy New Year! It is another Japanese custom to share the new year’s resolution, which I believe many culture have the similar custom. My resolution for 2021 is to overcome “fear” of being judged (disliked). As much as I try to write honest insight here, I am often scared of…

This will be the last post in 2020. Thank you for finding us, reading the posts, and willing to learn the Japanese culture behind Sashiko & Boro. I sincerely hope we care for each other in mutual respects instead of saying “whatever” and pushing the “conveniences” over someone’s pain. I…

Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. I wish you many blessings and much happiness. ☆ I thought of taking a day off today in sharing, too. Yet, as always, I started typing and here we go. In addition to that, I have received a photo of Keiko’s latest Jacket (she completes several…

We are a group of Sashiko artisans after all. While I keep sharing the words, Keiko and her friends keep stitching. Keiko doesn’t really talk much. However, it doesn’t mean that she has less messages. After Covid-19, I want you to see and touch what we makes. It may explain…
