I had several great feedback on my latest article on Patreon. Another analogy of my fear in “filtering” what Sashiko is – Sashiko & English as a language (it ends up with a long article…) ☆ [He do not have many furnitures.] Don’t you feel strange? It should be [He…

Has anyone realized that our entity name has no word “Sashiko” in it? Keiko’s project name is “Sashi.Co” and my company’s name is “Upcycle Stitches”. There are reasons behind it. We carefully choose the name without “Sashiko”, and it is our way to pay respect to Sashiko. I know it…

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…

Sashiko and Art. Especially since I think in Japanese in my brain, I am still indecisive if Sashiko is the Art. I am still learning, but there is one thing I can share. It is our hope to encourage people throughout our Sashiko regardless Sashiko is the Art or not….

“Sharing the Sashiko” is my goal. In order to keep sharing, establishing the “Sustainable Sashiko” is very important. Not only the “Sashiko as Sustainable Fashion/Practice”, but also a “Sashiko as Sustainable Business” where we all can continue practicing with supporting suppliers & craftsmen in the industry. That’s the only place…

Only 5 days ago, this big piece of white fabric had no stitching. This week, I had a good amount of time to talk to Keiko & other friends in Japan – about Sashiko while stitching Sashiko. I believe it is one of the original scenery of Sashiko that we…

In the last 3 days, I took “days off”. I did everything as normal – answering the emails, and main job as house-making. What I meant “days off” is that I did not spend so much time on “Introducing Sashiko”. I had spent my time reading what I wanted to…

26 of Sashiko artisans. 26 of Sashiko stitching with Asanoha patterns. ☆ All Hand-stitched. Same designs for all pieces. However, each one of them are different as the artisans enjoy their own “Sashiko Unshin” stitching. There are no “right” or “wrong” – which means they are all different and good….

Before discussing what is “Right (Rules)” for Sashiko/Boro, please try to learn what these Japanese words mean for the Japanese people. Before educating others by borrowing someone’s words, please pay respect to the “someone”. It is beautiful to see an alternation in culture. However, without learning the original form, it…
