I no longer take commission work as I want to focus on my own Sashiko. So, this Denim is also for myself – I wanted to do Sashiko on a Denim Pants. As the “Image, Common Understanding, and Description” of Sashiko changes in English, I find it important to share…

Npr, Life Kit Podcast, [Extended the life of your clothes with visible mending] is released on 5/25. A short interview of my idea toward mending is included.

The Full view of “Back side of the Sashiko Denim” I have been working on – the photo I promised at the end of the yesterdays’ Live Streaming. I usually do not “cherish” the result of Sashiko – once it is done, I just “wear” it or “use” it. So,…

In most “making/crafting” fields, among people so called “craftsmen/teachers/artists”, we can find a big difference in what they are looking at.

I started teaching Sashiko in English only about 5 years ago with almost no confidence in what I would be teaching. Since then, every opportunity to teach Sashiko, I share what I have as if it is the last day of my life. Many students kindly tell me to relax….
