It is our significance that we can make this kind of Sashiko Jacket. A beautiful compliment we received is “It is a wearable art” – the Art can exist in our ordinary days. I don’t know how many of these we can make… but it is our pride to keep…

I received a question if we sell any of our Sashiko. Yes, in fact, 99% of the items we introduce on this account and @Sashi.co have a price on it. Or, we can put the price if you are interested. Sashi.Co and I are a group of makers after all….

“Sashiko in the ordinary”. This is what Sashiko used to be for the Japanese, and what we (as @Sashi.Co) dream of again. We all benefit from industrial revolution & Mass-production/consumption. Ironically, though, the convenience increased the price of hand-made items. ☆ There is something more than “how beautiful it is”…

All hand-stitched. No assembly line. Hand-crafted by Sashiko artisans. Every single criteria is a challenge in today’s society where a machine replaces our hands in assembly lines with computer programming. We can make only a few bags every year, but we try our best to offer it with as reasonable…

“A Cloth has its life, and there is a spirit in it. Therefore, it carries memories, and therefore it talks. They prayed into a cloth.” Japanese naturally believe in Animism, and the interpretation of cloth as “life (spirit)” is not that difficult to adapt. (The photo is my collection of…

There are many Sashiko artisans in Japan. I don’t consider myself as one of the masters. As much as I appreciate your admiration of my & Keiko’s work, we are still learning. However, there is one thing that can differentiate me from the other Sashiko artisans – I believe I…

It is such a strange and challenging time. Fear of the unknown. Unexpected changes. Scary numbers (in statistics & finance). We as Keiko and Atsushi cannot sustain our lives by just being Sashiko artisans. So, we sell our “be-in-love” supplies, such as thread – and that supports us and keeps…

I share the core of Sashiko with photos & stories in SashiCo Account, @Sashi.Co | Often, however, an actual item easily exceeds the pages of explanation. This Jacket is one of those. This is the “core” of our Sashiko. ☆ Once a year, as if a flower blooms, Keiko’s iconic…
