My sashiko products (coasters and mats) being sold at Cowra Japanese Garden since this September are now sold out – I am pleased and appreciate people who valued my work and purchased them. Thank you very much.
New coasters are on the way
My new sashiko coasters were shipped to Cowra yesterday. I hope my sashiko products can make someone’s daily life a little bit more exciting.

How did I start working with Cowra Japanese Garden?
I visited Cowra Japanese Garden earlier this year and learnt about the sad history during and after the WWII. On the first visit I was impressed that people in Cowra have been so generous, understanding and made great effort to build a good relationship between Australia and Japan. After I read the book ‘Blankets on the wire’, I realised more people including Japanese have been involved in building and keeping this friendship and mutual understanding between the two countries.
Then a question came to my mind – ‘So how am I going to be involved and contribute?’.
It is possible to make this new discovery in my life, but not be involved. I just visited a town, read a book and learned new facts – that’s all. But there are some people who decided to be involved somehow – as a writer of a book, as translator of the book, as a member to keep this garden etc.
Then I decided to make Japanese crafts using my hobby sashiko. This is my contribution to make the mutual understanding and relationship. I hope someone will find my sashiko products interesting, and they start learning to loving Japan more.

New projects
An addition to my first products (coasters and mats), is an A5 size pouch. I am working on this now and looking forward to introducing this new sashiko product soon. Keep in touch.
