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…

In the previous post, about “making knots or not” in Sashiko, I am NOT judging any Sashiko stitchers who choose to use the knots at the start/end of stitching. The Knots can be more secure in some projects like Denim Mending. Some tried the “no knots (Kasane)” style but didn’t…

“Is Sashiko Sustainable Fashion?” It is a very good question. When I had a talk in FIT, a bright student asked me if Sashiko can be a solution to the pollution in Fashion. Well, it is(was) too big of an issue to discuss as a mere Sashiko artisan. I couldn’t…

A photo of “Boro-inspired” piece with many knots. Although I shared our “preference” of not using knots on our Sashiko project (on our website), there is no problem in using knots. In fact, some pieces would require the knots to be there. ☆ When we make “Boro & Boro to…

I uploaded an article & video about a topic, “Do we make knots in Sashiko & Boro”. We were in the environment that everyone practice overlay stitches instead of knots, so it wasn’t even a question for me to debate which is better. I still believe there isn’t such a…

Sashiko = needle movement.
Sashiko = needle movement. This is another definition I come up with from my Sashiko days. Move it and Enjoy it. 刺し子運針会のお知らせ。 今日の配信でもご紹介したのですが、オンラインで刺し子の運針をお教えする機会を作ろうと思っています。第一回が好評だったので。 ご登録頂いた順序で、第○期生的な考えで進めていきたいと思っています第二期生の枠は後2席です。 第一回目では、値段も破格と仰って（心配）頂けたので、お値打ちな感じの値段にはなってるかと。詳細はDMかメール下さいませ。 ちなみに、夜に2~3時間、針仕事をする覚悟はしといて下さい（笑） 2018-03-20 16:44:56 Source

The beautiful small Asano-Ha goes to Denim Repairing. Hiding the pattern, and showing just part of it will make it more fashionable, I think. 麻の葉柄は藍染刺し子糸と共に、デニムジーンズの補修へ。チラ見せの美学。こちらは今後も配信で作業続けます。 2018-03-14 16:42:15 Source

Just talking of Asano-ha pattern, we can have unlimited numbers of variation. Different side of gAsanoha, diffrent size of stitches. Sashiko represent “freedom” to us. Any Sashiko can be beautiful, and they are all inspirational. Isn’t this small Asanoha with Indigo dye fabric & Indigo Dye thread are beautiful? 麻の葉柄ヒトツだけ考えても、針目の大きさを考えたり、柄のサイズを考えたり。無限のバリエーションがあるのが刺し子の面白いところです。自由なのですよ。それこそ、規則に従うかそのものも自由。…

Youtube Livestreaming in English.
Youtube Livestreaming in English. I talked about “beind mindful” in Sashiko today. It was a good discussion, I believe. Now. being mindful. The pincushion I use everyday looks so cute when I become mindful. 水曜日は英語での配信。 「マインドフルネス」について語りながら、自分はマインドフルになれているかと自問自答。金曜日は、マインドフルネスについても語ろうかしらん。ってか、日本語でなんていうんだろう。 ……と思いつつ、目の前の、いつもお世話になっている針山をパシャリ。 2018-03-07 16:36:13 Source
