A Wearable Art. A sample of Sashiko being Art. Very occasionally, we accept a Commission Work, especially when we request to make a Wearable Art with deep understanding of what Keiko can do. Some say Sashiko is Art. I say (in @SashikoStory), Sashiko isn’t Art yet but Sashiko can be…

In English, everyone says Sashiko is Art. Although I have many reasons & stories to say that “I do not consider Sashiko as Art“, I also believe that Sashiko “can be” Art. I just do not want anyone to use the word (concept) “Art” to do whatever they feel comfortable…

Remember the “Free-Hand Sashiko Stitching” Furoshiki (Wrapping Cloth) I introduced last month? It is a Sashiko project I started without preparing any patterns, lines and even the “outcome” of Sashiko. I let the needle run as I wished for hours and days. After taking the photo on 4/21, I received…

Our Sashiko Jackets & Bags, and some “Boro” pieces were exhibited in Kaunas, Lithuania, as a part of Kaunas 2022 “Japan Days in Kaunas WA”. The exhibition was achieved hugely thanks to Olese (@olese.kekiene) who passionately involved us to the exhibition, and Aura Dance Studio (@auradancetheatre) uniquely & beautifully “exhibited”…

“Is Sashiko Art?”. I had a Live Streaming only in Japanese to share my understanding about Sashiko as Art or Non-Art. There are many reasons why I do not consider Sashiko as Art. It is almost meaningless to discuss to “conclude” if Sashiko is Art or not because the “definition”…

I say Sashiko isn’t (Fine) Art. However, I humbly accept an admiration to our Sashiko as the Art (because I believe they mean well). I just don’t want “Art” to be an excuse to “whatever is good because it is art”, or even worse, “Not learning”. As long as one…

A mansion in front of the clear beach. A luxury car to ask her out. Enough cash to buy anything without checking the price tag. A fresh seafood market nearby. Then, a caring family with (an) innocent child(ren). They are all what I wanted to achieve in my youth. After…

Sashiko exist(ed) in the Japanese ordinary. Therefore, there isn’t such a thing as “Right and Wrong” – no rules, just preference. Please don’t worry about the slow & uneven stitches. Everyone is a beginner at first. Please do not be scared of “Cultural Appropriation” too much. When you care for…

In 2019, I realized that I have many reasons to speak up about Sashiko in English. I appreciate your time in reading mindfully and understand how “a Japanese Sashiko individual” feels about Sashiko/Boro. ☆ You may wonder… “Oh, is there so much incorrect information in English?” No. I don’t really…

We are a group of Sashiko artisans after all. We make Sashiko items, and we can continue making thanks to those who purchase the items with understanding its value. I spend a bit more time on “sharing what is Sashiko” for 2020 on @Sashi.Co, but I would like to keep…
