I tried to keep it as “old-fashioned” as possible, even in this “speed-oriented” society. Of course, I need to adjust. However, there are certain things that I would like to keep as is. One of the things is “how I get to know of you as a customer”. Before the…

I am an ordinary Sashiko stitcher. I know many more great Sashiko stitchers, and I sincerely respect them (wish to be like them). Everything else besides Sashiko, I am quite “clumsy”. Keiko can do a lot of things in fabric-crafting, but we can be who we are thanks to many…

In this extraordinary (pandemic), ”Pray (only itself)” won’t change a reality. We need to “Stay (still)” rather than “Pray”. However, without “Pray”, nothing can be restarted. All of the changes start from our “praying (for the new ordinary)”. ☆ One of the core messages I would like to “tell” to…

I spend a good Saturday morning typing in Japanese about the “Sashiko & the Japanese philosophy of praying”, which explain what I would like to tell throughout Sashiko. I won’t be able to translate what I wrote into English well, so I will write another blog with this topic. The…
