Sashiko and Cultural Appropriation // Sashiko Story Vol.10 // Sashiko is more than a trend

Cultural Appropriation is a very sensitive and difficult topic to discuss. However, I decided to not to keep quiet anymore. So, here is my statement about Cultural Appropriation in Sashiko.

I am not 100% sure if what I feel is “Cultural Appropriation” or not. However, the concept explains the pain when I see the word “Sashiko” in a non-related context or usage in someone’s convenience. I will keep learning, and here is my footnote.

0:46 Questions from followers - Am I causing harm?
1:10 Atsushi's personal & simple statement (with sharing one condition).
4:08 Please know that you do not know enough about Sashiko
4:46 Question about "Sashiko/Boro Inspired"
7:28 Boro is a bit different story
9:34 Second additional note - that I am still learning

*Please be advised. I say, "Don't worry too much". However, it doesn't mean that "Whatever" is fine. In fact, it is opposite. By sharing the stories, I am saying "whatever" from ignorance is no longer valid.


I am working on the script on our website to dictate this video. Meanwhile, please read the first article I wrote about Sashiko & Cultural Appropriation.

Toward the end, I ask you to learn about Cultural Appropriation from the others. They may have a different view from mine. However, it is important to learn from them. I am learning from them. I say “Do not worry about it too much (when you try to respect the Japanese culture)”. However, please do not take it too easy either. Keep learning is what we need to do here.

Instagram Account I learn a lot from (No intention for the Order):
(I will keep adding accordingly).
