Zokin with Sashiko (Zokin as Cleaning Rug) & Apply it to Ordinary Days | (英語版）日々の雑巾作りを刺し子糸で

Описание: In order to understand Sashiko, getting familiar with “Zokin (雑巾)” is pretty important. I use Zokins in our ordinary, and I introduce how I make it & use Zokin in this video.

アメリカに移住しても掃除をする際には雑巾が必須です。雑巾の使い方＆作り方を義務教育で学べる日本は素晴らしいなぁと思ったり（当時は嫌でしたが）。「雑巾はアート」と訳のわからないことになる前に、少しでも刺し子と雑巾の物語と本質を。（前編英語です）。

Zokin isn’t really a fancy word. I hope non-Japanese understand what Zokin can be for Japanese people, instead of romanticizing the word. As much as I speak up for the violence of “Cultural Repainting” done by someone who tries to get benefit out with no (small) knowledge & experience, I think it is our responsibility to share the “alive” information.

Sashiko & Boro are words with stories, not just marketing terms in trend.


*I am trying to approach “video making” to upload more contents by “voicing over” the video I film. Not great editing, but I hope this will improve my video editing skill as well.

Please find the links for information I mentioned in the video.
