“We deliver what you order no matter what happens.” We have been keeping this promise since 2017. An unfortunate accident happens since I prepare a package manually, the carrier person delivers it manually, and a customer receives it manually. It may take longer to complete the order when an accident…

I sometimes make a strong statement, such as “Boro is not a word for visible mending” and “Sashiko is not a word for your trend”. Please read what I have been writing before you react. My goal is to “share”: not exclude, not judge, not limit, not control others. I…

Do you feel “fear” when I write something about Sashiko (& possibly about Cultural Appropriation)? I am aware that I am privileged in Sashiko – a native Japanese who was born in the Sasiko family with support from artisans with 35+ years of experience. Please understand that my goal is…

I understand we are scared. I am worried as well. We should prepare for it. However, the best thing we can do now is to keep the “ordinary”. There are people who committed their life into the field we are now worried about. I would rather trust them than search…

In this society, we are required to “think” to be more productive, efficient and to be “better”. I am asking to give up judging oneself continuously by enjoying Sashiko. Feel instead of Think. Respect (the difference) instead of Judge. The message is the same from the beginning. “Care” instead of…

Well. Sorry for non-Sashiko topic again. It keeps bugging me. I believe this relates to Sashiko in a deeper level. I watched several Greta’s speech. I agree with what she advocates. We need to be serious with the environmental issue. One thing, however, there is one thing I felt “strange”….

I watched Greta Thunberg speech at UN Climate Action Summit. It was inspirational. As a father of 4 years old girl, her message hit so hard to think about today and the future. I am not well-educated for the environmental issue and I still have to “borrow” from environment to…

After the industrial revolution, we tried to win – competition – to be the number one. With the emergence of the Internet (and tired of competing with each other), we tried to celebrate who we are – diversity – to be the only one. Now, everything is connected, we can…

[Personal (Atsushi’s) Note]. I wanted to be someone else. I wished to be someone who could “change” the world by big innovations. At some point of my life, however, I realize I wasn’t qualified to be someone who I was longing for. I once hated Sashiko because it seems to…
