We all look at the things as we wish/want/can/shou

We all look at the things as we wish/want/can/should. It is an understandable phenomena that some perceive Sashiko as a solution to their own concerns - sustainability, stressful society, slow-fashion, environmental-friendly, and for me it is “caring others instead of ignorance”. Although I understand these “themes” over the word “Sashiko”, please also try to learn “as is” instead of fantasizing Sashiko.
☆
Sashiko can be one’s relaxation method. I feel relaxed after stitching- but it is a “by-product” of stitching. Sashiko itself is(was originally) not a practice to calm a stitcher. In fact, probably the opposite of relaxation, with imagining how the Japanese developed Sashiko. I don’t even know how many actually “enjoyed” Sashiko back then.
☆
“Sashiko is a meditative stitching like Zen, therefore a stitcher has to be calm and relaxed (Sashiko should be meditative)” is a big twist in understanding Sashiko. In fact, the Sashko carries a LOT of emotions. The result may be “relaxed”, but the process of stitching with many kinds of emotion (including a lot of negative ones) make Sashiko stitching so beautiful, powerful and attractive.
☆
I am happy that people enjoy Sashiko as a relaxation. It is indeed very relaxing. However, at the same time, I would like to share the importance of doubting… since I am also doubting what I know about Sashiko, and thinking every single day what Sashiko really is (was) for us.

刺し子がSashikoとして広がる中で、吃驚する程の、”（良い意味での）解釈”も目にするようになりました。「ストレス社会の特効薬としての刺し子」「大量生産大量消費の服飾業界へのアンチテーゼとしての刺し子」……僕への英語でのインタビューで聞かれた質問の一例です。荷が重すぎます。でもね、同時に勝手に幻想を抱いても欲しくないんです。刺し子の本質が日常である以上、知れば知るほど落胆する可能性もあるから。ひとり歩きしてしまっている言葉を、どう伝えていくか。悩みは尽きません。

Thank you for your time to write comments in the p

Thank you for your time to write comments in the previous post. I am, of course, aware that not everyone agrees with what I say, but receiving a reply “Shame on You” for sharing my feelings was confusing.
☆
It isn’t easy to share a (meaningful) message every single day in the second language - with being mindful to avoid a misunderstanding across the cultures. If what I do is shameful on SNS, then I gotta stop it and move “this” to the more appropriate place - like Patreon where I created as a safe place after sad experiences a year ago, to share more personal stories. Thanks to you, I came to understand that what happened yesterday was like an accident, and I will continue sharing here. No worry. My determination is not so fragile.
☆
Here, I want to reply to some kind advice. Many advise me to ignore “haters”, and I completely agree. However, “I do not want to start with ignoring - ignoring is the last resort in my sharing journey”. I try myself open to a discussion. I am still learning. I may say something incorrect, and I am willing to accept the mistake. Therefore, I don’t ignore anyone - small or big the influence they have - in order to learn from them. Well… to keep my sanity, I will ignore them after 3 trials to understand. Interestingly, those who “attack” me have 2 common characteristics, (1)They don’t read what I wrote & (2) They don’t reply to my questions. So, 3 trials are good enough, I guess.
☆
Ultimately speaking, my message is to share the idea of “Not-ignore” the minority & silent voice. So, I keep trying my best to not-to-ignore as long as there is reasonable & mutual respect. It may be a surprise, but a “disagreement” is welcome - just please read what I wrote first, and then please answer my questions to keep the discussion healthy.
☆
Alright. I will go back to a regular routine after sharing some learning I realized throughout this accident. Thank you.

日本語で刺し子をお伝えする際には考えられないことが英語では起こる。これも勉強です。何があったかは、金曜日の配信で。一時間で終わるかなぁ……（空目）。

想定を超えた失礼なコメントがあったので英語での文章が増えるかもです。詳細は金曜の配信で。日本語では気分を入れ替えて宣伝をば。7月18日の土曜午前に、久々の刺し子運針会を行います。残り数席余裕があるので、運針に興味があるぞという人は、是非ご検討頂けたら嬉しいです。運針とはなんぞや？という方は、金曜の配信で実際の運針をご覧頂くことも可能です。詳細はプロフィールのリンクからご確認頂けたら幸いです。よろしくお願い致します！

A change of plan. I need to state what I am doing here on SNS until my confusion clears out. My goal is to share the “Sashiko” - not excluding others. Being said, here are 2 statements. (1) “I don’t make negative statements.” I occasionally make strong statements & posts with my whining (that I am tired of ignorance & I am angry), but I believe what I write is NOT negative - it is just honest. (2) “I do not attack others who enjoy Sashiko regardless of what they do.” I very rarely question others when they describe Sashiko with specific terms (such as “authentic” or “traditional”), but I believe I have never judged anyone specifically. (I admit that I have a strong preference, but I believe I have never shared the Sashiko/Boro I dislike).
☆
I hope everyone who read this post is with me on the 2 statements above. I am still in confusion, but I guess sh_t like yesterday happens. If a majority who read my posts think that what I write is contradicting the 2 statements, then I need to stop posting, and start learning how to write better - because my intention is to share the Sashiko & even encourage others to enjoy Sashiko.
☆
What I write may not sound good to those who don’t care about the culture behind the words. In this society, people say what the audience wants to hear for their purpose. I am not. I say what I feel honestly (not an opinion, a feeling based on my own history). I am here to share - not to spoon feed or cuddle someone with ignorance.

I learn that having a wide tolerance can be harmfu

I learn that having a wide tolerance can be harmful sometimes, so here is a strong statement. Boro is not a term for patchworking the colorful swatches for their artistry. One may say, “Boro-inspired” is a good way to show respect. Well… please learn the culture behind the word before superficially inspired by its look. A similar thing goes to the popular Japanese word Wabi-Sabi - it is Not about “beauty in imperfection” - and using flashy colors in patchworking freely is not even close to the concept of Wabi-Sabi and Boro.
☆
I am merely a Sashiko artisan - not a Boro expert. However, as a Sashiko stitcher, I respect the Japanese people who existed behind the Boro. The big trend of “Look at my Boro (inspired) work - with flashy fabric (even without any Japanese fabric)” can be unpleasant to me - as if my soul is soiled.
☆
I am NOT asking anyone to stop enjoying what they do. It is their freedom. My own mother sometimes uses colorful fabric on her Boro-to-be project. What I am asking them is a “mindfulness” when using the foreign word. If one is inspired by Boro - then I want them to be inspired by both how they look & stories behind the Boro.

襤褸とBOROは何が違うのか。「襤褸はカラフルな芸術的なパッチワークとは違う」と思っているのですが、なぜ日本の襤褸作家さんには見られない、目が痛くなるようなカラフルなパッチワークがBOROとなるのか。それは言語の音だと思います。言い方変えると言霊。
☆
「ぼろ」と聞いて、普通の人はいいイメージを持ちません。どれだけ価値があると知っても、言霊そのものに「恥」やら「葛藤」が含まれます。それがBOROには無いから、どうも「恥知らず」に見えてしまうんです。良い悪いの話じゃなくて、もっと知って欲しいなぁという話。日本語の音には魂が宿ります。その魂からくる美しさこそが侘び寂びの持つ一つの魅力だと思うのですよ。なんとか上手に伝えなきゃなぁ。
