A course by Atsushi Futatsuya
Atsushi Futatsuya is a Sashiko Garment Maker from Japan. While he has been commissioned to make garments for clothing stores and private clients in his career, Atsushi does not consider himself an artist. To him, Sashiko is an ordinary cultural practice that has had its place in Japan for hundreds of years. It has been an act of necessity rather than a form of art or creativity. Having been born into a family that crafted Sashiko for a living, Atsushi considers this technique his fate. After years of drifting away from Sashiko, he eventually returned to it and is determined to preserve it as a cultural tradition and an act of the ordinary.
