I appreciate many reactions to the previous post. I just wanted to add to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings. It is fine (by me) to celebrate the “imperfection” within your own creation. I am nowhere to define what “perfect” and “beauty” are. The posts are not triggered by any specific people. I feel it is like a trend now (phenomena), so please do not feel that I am accusing someone specific. ☆ In fact, my message contains something similar to “Beauty in Imperfection” such as “Do not focus on the result much” or “stop judging what you can do and enjoy who you are”. However, in my understanding, “Beauty in Imperfection” is more like a mindset - not the result itself (only). ☆ The people I respect try(ied) to be better in Sashiko. They try to stitch as “perfect” as a human possible can be. Doing Sashiko for a few months and defining Sashiko as the “beauty in imperfection” for others is kinda insulting. Again, it is fine if it concludes within oneself. ☆ - - ☆ Sashiko is NOT a practice to embrace the imperfection. We enjoy Sashiko as a beautiful stitching because of their years of practice & improving. Again, it is fine when someone celebrates the beauty in imperfection. However, when you tell others about Sashiko, please keep these words in your mind - Sashiko is not about embracing the beauty in imperfection. Otherwise, the culture may be changed by ignorance - there is a big difference between “accept” and “give up” it. ☆ - - - ☆ 昨日の投稿、英語圏でも「不完全の美」に対する疑問符が出てきて大変勉強になりました。文化的なものかと思いきや(侘び寂びの存在がある為、とても文化的なのは間違いないのだけど)、案外単なる流行なのかもしれません。 ☆ 「不完全の美」ってめちゃくちゃ奥深いものなのです。極論ですが、これを上手に説明できれば日本文化の本質をも説明できるほどに。針目揃えられないけど、刺し子は自由だから美としよう」という、妥協点を探る言葉ではないんです。実感として、僕なんかよりもよっぽど針目が整っている方が、「私はまだまだ」って言っている状況が、「不完全の美」への第一歩なんだろうなと。(これより先は必要以上に哲学的になるので配信でw)。 ☆ #Sashiko #JapaneseSashiko #WabiSasbi #Imperfection #SashikoBasics #SashikoClass #RhythmicalStitching #Sashikobag #Unshin #LearnSashiko #刺し子 #運針 #日本人の刺し子 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzUsujJ6nu/?igshid=5h0turi9uidk

This Sashiko Style Embroidered Bag is so stylish and easy to make. The hardest thing is to keep the stitches straight so it's great for practicing. Bags are always handy to have and make great gifts too! #bag #embroidery #embroiderytutorial #embroiderypattern #embroiderybag #sashiko #sashikobag #sashikoembroidery #stylishbag #craftgossip | Like My Facebook Page >> https://ift.tt/2jty87z ...

Keiko and I try to make a living by Sashiko. Therefore, most of the Sashiko items we share are for sale. Jackets, Bags, pieces of fabric with Sashiko, 90% of the items have a price tag (or we can put the price on it). I had prioritized my work on offering Sashiko supplies on busy days (under Covid-19 and stay-at-home father). When I have more time, I will introduce each piece with sizing, pricing, and with more photos.  ☆ For jackets, we can make only a few of these every year. Every stitch is hand-stitched. Thanks to many customers, most of the jackets/bags are sold. However, since every jacket is hand-made, we can make a similar one (if it is made with vintage fabrics, then we will try our best to make it “similar”). I am happy to have your inquiry for the estimate & detail designing. We do work for “custom tailored Jacket/bag” and commission as well (Stitching on the denim is temporary unavailable). ☆ I welcome an inquiry about pricing and availability. However, please be serious & considerate when you contact me. Every stitch is hand-stitched. We use the best materials available - including Natural Dye. It takes months to make one piece. Each Jacket is one of a kind. A Sashiko jacket will not have a price tag of a mass-produced jacket. Based on work, more than 500 (or more) hours will be spent into one jacket. An inquiry expecting a jacket to be a few hundreds usd is pretty sad... So your understanding is much appreciated before sending me an inquiry. (The Jacket on the photo is about $3,000 USD with about 8 months of production time).  ☆ - - - ☆ 3年前の配信でも全く同じ事を話しているように、刺し子を通した僕の想いには、一貫した大切な願いがあります。それは、「想像力を持って欲しい」ということ。何かを書く前に。何かに反応する前に。何か行動を起こす前に。「”これをしたら”どうなるんだろう?」と少しの間で良いので、想像力を使って欲しいんです。スピードが成功の大前提の現代では、想像力よりも創造力が大事とされて、立ち止まる機会が無いような気がするんですよね。だからこそ刺し子。刺し子してる時は、両手塞がるので、考えを巡らせることができて、結果的に立ち止まり、想像力を実感できる瞬間になると思うのです。 ☆ 僕たちが作る刺し子作品には全て値札がつきます。なんとか刺し子��けで生計を立てられたらと思っているので。でも、その値段の裏には、何百時間という作業があることも想像してほしいのです。全刺しのジャケット、数万円では販売してませんよ……。(英語圏でよくあるんです、そういう問い合わせが。) ☆ #Sashiko #JapaneseSashiko #SashikoJacket #SashikoBag #SustainableFashion #日本の日常 #刺し子 #刺し子ジャケット https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPdHOupf6r/?igshid=sms58hxgszcv

Sashi.Co & Keiko Futatsuya are suspending all of the activities/plans between 4/18 to 5/31 due to the Gifu State & Japanese national emergency (please check Keiko’s English website for more information). It is a very difficult situation since Spring is the best time to welcome tourists all over the world, and we have offered so many workshops this season. We sincerely hope to welcome those who wish to visit Keiko for her Sashiko Collection & workshops. (Please be advised that all of the workshop Keiko offers has the prerequisite of Atsushi’s Sashiko Workshop - Core & Basic - either in-person or Online. Atsushi will share the basic & core technique, and Keiko will share her ideas of how to apply the technique.Online Sashiko Class is available with limited availability) ☆ *Photo made by Keiko for a sample of “Free-style Sashiko Bag.” I wouldn’t call this “Boro Bag” and she wouldn’t probably start as a Boro-project. She simply enjoys her playful mind & mindfulness in playfulness. ☆ - - - ☆ 自宅待機令からほぼ2ヶ月。遂に今週末、「赤色から黄色」に警戒レベルが変わります。どうなるんだろう。米国でのワークショップの全キャンセルも泣きそうですが、日本での予定のキャンセルもやっぱりキツいものがあります。先月半ばの岐阜県の緊急事態宣言を受けての営業自粛(4/18〜)も、今月末まで延長します。日本国内外、世界中から「恵子さんの作品を見たい。糸が欲しい」と高山に来て下さる方が沢山いた去年と比べて、とても寂しく静かな春になっています。 ☆ それでも人は後ろを向きながら前に進もうとするのは危ないわけで。適宜立ち止まって後ろをみつつ、歩くときはしっかりと前を見て歩こうと思うのです。配信が定期的にできなくなり、淳が主夫に戻ってしまっているこ���で、多くの企画が立ち止まってしまっています。でも、まだ僕たちはここにいて、新しい日常が始まった際は、前を変わらない刺し子への思いを胸に前に進めたらと思っています。 ☆ ふと現状の立ち位置について書こうと思ったのが1,201回目の投稿だったから。1,200→1,201という数字の移り変わりが好きなんです。1200の数字が持つ「自己肯定」の意味から、1,201という素数への変わり方。新しい一歩のような感じがして。こういう話もニーズあるのかな(笑) ☆ # #Sashiko #RiceBag #KeikoFutatsuya #SashikoBag #SashikoStitching #JapaneseSashiko #Patchworking #Quilting #Recycling #VisibleMending #InvisibleMending #UpcycleStitches #JapaneseBoro #Artist #Artisans #刺し子 #襤褸 #米袋 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8QAkaJ-Da/?igshid=19vzvycomd1ne

Sashiko: A Japanese Embrodiery. I loved this embrodiery as it has beautiful geometric running stitches which very simply pass up and through the fabric. #sashiko #sashikostitching #sashikoembroidery #sashikoart #sashikothread #sashikostitch #sashikoinspired #sashikobag #sashikofabric #sashikohandstitch #sashikolove #embroideryfloss #embroiderylove #embroidered #embroideryinspiration #embroiderydesign #embroideryart #sashikobroderi (at Mumbai, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB22f_hHLTn/?igshid=1alaye6lefgtu

One news delivered me a mixed feeling - sad, empathy, and encouragement. One of the groups of artisans we had built a good relationship decided to go “part-time” from “full-time”. They will still take our orders, and nothing will dramatically change, but I cannot stop thinking about the reason behind it. They are very passionate and ambitious in what they do, yet they are going to part-time in doing what they are proud of. This isn’t someone’s story. It can happen to us anytime, any moment. It is how difficult it is to “be above the bread line” in hand-crafting. Again, even for us, without your support, we would need to go “part-time” as we were just a few years ago. ☆ Financially speaking, what I choose doesn’t make sense. High-risk and low return (in terms of money). Yet, we learn that there are people waiting for our Sashiko, stories, and sharing. We are serious about what we do, and therefore, we can inspire others. ☆ - - - ☆ ある職人さん達が、本業を他に始められて、元々の本業は副業にされるという話を伺いました。副業でも週末を使って、そのお仕事は続けられるとのこと。貴重で大切な文化継承のお仕事なので、頑張って欲しいし、僕たちも変わらず応援できたらと思っています。 ☆ 偉そうに上から目線ですが、これは刺し子業にしても一緒。もし恵子さんと僕に「養う家族」がいたら、やっぱり刺し子は週末だけの活動になると思います。もしかしたら、刺し子を教える活動はしても、刺し子そのものの作品作りは休止になる��もしれません。ギリギリのラインでの活動です。だからこそ、海外で「刺し子はね〜」と、知ったかぶりで語られると怒りを覚えるんでしょうね。軽く扱われて良いんです。趣味で良いんです。でも、「刺し子は日本的だ」というのだけは無視して欲しくない。ここ数ヶ月ずーっと同じことを言ってますが、それでもまだまだ伝わりきれてませんね。日本中の貴重な手仕事をされている皆様へ、良い事が沢山ありますように。 ☆ #Sashiko #JapaneseSashiko #JapaneseCulture #SashikoStitching #HandCraft #SashikoBag #TraditionalSashiko #刺し子 #文化継承 #手仕事 https://www.instagram.com/p/B22rXtbJi07/?igshid=dykk1e8wwn1b

After enjoying a beautiful day with daughter and friends, I just realize my voice was gone when I woke up at midnight. I felt no symptoms of sickness, (although I felt the difficulty of uttering the words last evening), so it was a quite surprise. I think it is getting better. Although I believe the Sashiko can be introduced by making “the authentic” one that we define, yet, the voice is also an important way to communicate to share the Sashiko we practice. Well. I got to learn how to take care of myself as well. ☆ - - - ☆ 邪な考えが入ったからか、あるいは偶然か、声が出なくなりましたー。熱が出た訳じゃないので、風邪とかじゃないとは思うのですが、一日娘と遊んで、友達の家で夕飯作りつつ、「あれ……声が出にくい」と思って一晩寝て、深夜に目が冷めた時には声が出なくなってました。徐々に回復しているので火曜日の配信には間に合うかなー。それにしても吃驚。相変わらず体は弱いのです。 ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoBag #SashikoStitching #Hitomezashi #Mindful #Rest #刺し子 #声が出ない https://www.instagram.com/p/B0v_ba6JAwr/?igshid=n37cz0dmmdg9

We enjoy many kinds of (Japanese) traditional geometric patterns. Sashi.Co & Keiko Futatsuya combines some of the patterns and make a exclusive, pretty original, Kinchaku drawstring bag. All hand stitched Sashiko, of course. ☆ Another unique, one of a kind item available for Spring 2019. The Sashiko stitches communicate the appreciation and its beauty. ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoBag #Kimono #SashikoStitching #Japanesepattern https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxwfyPFNbW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ejvijxz5vet

Another bag by Keiko with a lots of dialogus between Keiko and Fabric. A year long production let Keiko talk to the fabric so much, and she enjoyed the whole process of making. I believe I can share the whole story accordingly. Again, the beauty of Sashiko as Caring Stitching. ☆ もう少ししたら全体像をご紹介できるとは思うのですが、昨年、恵子さんが全精力をつぎ込んだプロジェクトがありました。(正確にはガッツリ楽しんだプロジェクトと言うべきですが)。「良い意味で驚いて貰いたい」という思いと、「ありきたり布をもう一度主役に」という思いが詰まったプロジェクトです。毎回、作品を作る時は思いっきり「想い」は込めています。バッグ一つにも個性が出てくるのは、布との会話があるからだと思っていて、やっぱり恵子さんの作品は素敵だなぁと思うのです。 ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoStitching #VintageFabric #SashikoBag #SashikoArt #Folkart #DialoguetoFabric #刺し子 #刺し子バッグ #思いを込める #刺し子仕事 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUN4MYlf_p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cvqk4utre623

After the big event - Sashiko Workshop - is completed successfully, I have a pile of plans I would like to accomplish. One is to build the online workshop. Another is to introduce some of our “Sashiko items” we create. Offering workshop is important, and also introducing what Sashiko can do is important to share Sashiko. The items will be online, one by one. If you find a one you would like purchase, please click the link from @UpcycleStitches. Most of the Sashiko items are one-of-a-kind. ☆ 楽しかった(超緊張してた)ワークショップも成功裏に終わり、これから約二ヶ月は様々な準備と制作に集中できそうです。刺し子の作品を紹介していくのも、「刺し子」の全体像を紹介していくのには大切な工程だと思うので、手元にある刺し子作品を徐々にご紹介していければ良いなと思っています。1点ものなので、なかなか購入ページをオンラインで作ることは難しいのですが、恵子さんの展示会等に足を運んで頂ければ、紹介している作品、もしくはそれの類似作品はご購入頂けると思います。また、随時特注での作品制作も受け付けておりますので、ご希望の方はDM頂ければ。 ☆ #Sashiko #VintageFabric #SashikoBag #Hitomezashi #KeikoFutatsuya #Patchwork #刺し子 #一目刺し #刺し子バッグ #古布 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCQQ_ZAt-g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t52q6fvs0v9o

I introduced the special combination of valuable vintage fabric and Hitomezashi with the natural dye Sashiko thread. I found a photo of the bag we made in the past. Because of its value, the bag shocked me how Keiko could stitch on the vintage Oshima silk, but it is all about repurposing the fabric to bring "someone" joy. Add another joy instead of throwing it away. Sashiko is caring in many meaningful ways. ☆ 先日ご紹介した古布と一目刺しの相性の良さ。以前作ったバッグの写真を見つけたのでご紹介です。大島紬と草木染めの刺し子糸。派手な布ではない大島の優しさと、一目刺しの力強さ。初めて見た時は、その価値から、「マジで!?」と思った作品ですが、ときめきを感じる布をそのままバッグにして大事に使うという刺し子らしさを思いっきり感じられる作品だと思います。 ☆ #Sashiko #Oshima #Vintage #Hitomezashi #Kakishibu #NaturalDye #SashikoBag #SashikoThread #SashikoSwatch #刺し子 #刺し子布 #柿渋染 #大島 #泥染め #古布 #刺し子の楽しさ #刺し子バッグ https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgWvdNlSk8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ascsppnayv0p

A photo of a completely "used" drawstring bag and smartphone bag. They have (had) been a great company to my business trips. ★ A series of workshop means a continuous stressful days. In these tention, those "Sashiko Items" reminds me of my father, who was kind of smiling for no appreant reasons. He is gone now... but I hope I am doing something he can be proud of. ★ もう既にボロボロになっているけれど、長い間旅のお供をしてくれている巾着とスマホ入れ。これだけ出張が続いて、緊張が続いて、んでもって本来だったら一番に考えなきゃいけない家族にも負担をかけてしまって。今日、ストレスでパソコンに向かって叫んじゃったよ。そんな時に、ふと、刺し子をみて、今は亡き親父を思い出すのです。そう言えば、このスマホ入れは、俺の独断で提案まで持っていって、最後は親父が許可くれたなぁとか。「仕事はなーんもできない父親」と、軽蔑してた時期もあるんだけど、あれだけぼーっとしてくれてたのにも、役割があったんだなぁと。あのね。不必要なんてことはないの。どんな人も、どんな糸も、しっかりと役割がある。親父、あの世でぼーっとしてっかなぁ。 ★ #Sashiko #TravelwithSashiko #SashikoStitching #SashikoBag #SashikoCase #刺し子 #親父 #今は亡き #元気でやってっかなぁ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQHDf6BEpN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hjmicbo3gh4z

Working hard on the first day of 2019 to offer the "Fukubukuro (=Lucky Bag)" soon. I am estimating 4th to start offering it. Please follow upcyclestitches.com for the detail of Lucky bag offered within the USA as well as international shipment from Japan. ☆ I hope everyone enjoys Sashiko stitching in 2019 and encounter(make) the special Sashiko for yourself. The photo is a Sashiko bag Keiko made for our dear friend. The "fortune" is in our caring spirit, and we offer "lucky bag" to make it happen :D ☆ 元旦ですが英語での福袋発売に向けて頑張っております。クリスマスが冬休みの中心となる米国では、2日から通常業務に戻るので、正月気分はなかなか味わえないのですよね。おせち料理食べたい。 ☆ 大変好評を頂いた刺し子な福袋シリーズ、以前のご報告のように日本時間1月3日の夜を持って販売を終了致します。ご検討頂けましたら幸いです。写真は、2018年に恵子さんが友人へのプレゼントとして作った刺し子バッグです。”福”は誰かを思う針目に宿るものであり、恵子さんが準備する福袋は、各々の”福’を楽しむ為のものになれば良いなぁと思っています。楽しんで頂くのが、何よりもの目的で。 ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoLuckyBag #SashikoFukubukuro #SashikoBag #Handstitching #SashikoStitching #Vintage #Kofu #JapaneseSashiko #刺し子 #刺し子な福袋 #針目に福が宿る #元旦も頑張る https://www.instagram.com/p/BsG6xbrFNBC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b5kg2v9ycwmk
