Next Day of the Live Streaming with an allergic reaction to something, I ended up having a fever… like Flu symptoms. Well… I wasn’t expecting this, so I spent as much time as I can be awake for Sashiko – I wasn’t well enough to do some brainwork or outside…

What I am teaching is a whole package of “expanding one’s view”. Therefore, reviews say it was an eye-opening experience for them. Learning “Techniques” is a must, but not the goal itself, right? It is about “what to do” with the technique we learn. ☆ My Sashiko Class is like…

As I share Sashiko Stories, I love stories (I have been a big bookworm). For me, “reading” is a secretive dialogue to a book & author. In reading, we imagine scenes that the author also may have visualized. When lucky, we can even smell, taste, hear, and actually see “it”…

In my childhood, I wouldn’t have imagined myself being at the age of 38. In reality, I became 38 years old today and appreciate the happiest moment in my life. The Live Streaming Yesterday (99% in Japanese) proves how “ordinary” my life & Sashiko became: and I cannot be grateful…

“Atsushi is a hardcore on keeping the faith…” I found a comment on SNS. I know the person who wrote this. They have been supportive of what I am doing. I knew it was a compliment, but I do not think that I am a hardcore. At least, I do…

I know the word “Cultural Appropriation” bothers some people. However, there is “pain” over their uncomfortableness. C/A can be avoided by learning & imagining, yet people with privilege choose not to do so. Therefore, it became an issue. It is not us who made C/A as the issue, it is…

The monetary System (Coins and Bills) visualized the measure of wealth. Liberalization (freedom society) pursues individualism and responsibility that one has to carry (to be wealthy). Capitalism rushes us to complete each other to be “free” and “wealthy”. Once we drop out from the “system”, then it is extremely challenging…

“All Different, All Good” is NOT an excuse to be okay with being unskilled. There are many Japanese Sashiko artisans who enjoy & practice Sashiko to be better. The concept of unifying the Sashiko from different artisans started way before I started sharing the Sashiko Stories on @SashikoStory. About two…

We teach how to enjoy the rhythm in Sashiko. We would rather them to enjoy the process than the result of how “beautiful” they are. However, at the same time, when they enjoy the similar rhythm in similar posture, the result becomes pretty similar in a good even way. This…

“Boro is not something we make – it is something we raise (rear/bring-up)”. For us, there is no such a thing as “the completion” of Boro. Boro exists in the usage, and therefore the completion of Boro equals to the end of the fabric. We just enjoy a dot (moment)…
