We often receive a question about what is our recommendation to start learning Sashiko. The honest answer is the [Core & Essence] (both Online & In-Person) as it hands the most important things in Sashiko to the participants. At the same time, I want “everyone” to learn Sashiko regardless of…

A Close-Up Photo of the previous Sashiko Jacket. 9 geometric patterns that Keiko chose in 2021 to “recreate (trace)” what a Japanese would have enjoyed in their ordinary life. This photo probably can clarify it is all “hand-stitched”. Yes, it is a lot of hand-stitching to reach there, as some…

I see so many “answers” about Sashiko on the “Internet”. I don’t offer ”my”answer so easily because it is not me who defines the answers for something so ordinary (for Japanese). I don’t want you to let someone define your ordinary. However, there is one thing I can define –…
