The Thread Matters in Sashiko. So, my first recommendation is to get the thread. Then, try the needle designed for Sashiko Purpose with so many stories explaining why we call it “Sashiko Needles”. ☆ On SNS (mainly on Facebook), I often find a piece of inaccurate information about the Needles….

We recommend very specific Needle & Thread for Sashiko Stitching – to appreciate & respect the original purpose of Sashiko. However… because of that, it can be a bit of challenging to thread the needle especially when you are a beginner. – This is a Blog Update Notification on Upcycle…

As a trend goes, the “name” is often used lightly. As Sashiko became the trend, many items now have the title of “Sashiko” in their product name – like Sashiko Thread, Sashiko needle, Sashiko Thimble, and Sashiko Fabric. Since “just adding the name” may increase the sales, it is a…

The supplies we recommend are a bit more costly than the other similar choices. Please know that there are reasons for that. I am pretty confident to say “I won’t let you disappointed”. ☆ The thimble is good for years (or more than 10 years). Needles are good for months…

I enjoy sharing the “ordinary” (which is often related to animism & Shinto) of Japanese culture & Sashiko. It is my pleasure to read your feedback to celebrate the difference/similarity. Thank you. Come to think of it, in fact, “Sharing Sashiko” should be like this – not only the “how…

Thank you for the many comments on yesterday’s post. There are no answers for my question yesterday. I am not looking for a quick answer as well. I am perfectly fine with someone calling me “Artist”. As long as I know who I am & what I am doing, the…

So, people say Sashiko is the Art. They call us Artists. I don’t consider Sashiko as the Art (yet), therefore, we consider us more like artisans, not artists. Well, let’s say, Sashiko is the Art. Then, who defines the value of art? I assume the value of art is evaluated…

I hope I make myself clear. I do not exclude others. I simply encourage people to “Think/try” before they ask questions, complain, and “repaint” what Sashiko is. I sometimes receive negative feedback that the needle we recommend has very small needle eyes – the complaint is like “The product says…
