The ‘Stay at home’ order is now extended until Friday 30th July 2021 in Sydney. My sashiko class needs to be postponed again, maybe for a while. It is sad but I decided to offer to post the materials to our students so they can have a stimulating and enjoyable time at home during this lockdown. Are you interested in joining us? You are always welcome!

“Sold out | sashiko product in Cowra Japanese Garden 2020.11.17” の続きを読むGreetings from Takako
My name is Takako.
I was born and grew up in Japan, in the foothills of Mt Fuji, and currently live in Sydney, Australia.
My husband and I operate a boutique travel service, both organising and leading small groups, and providing a self-guided tour service, to destinations around Australia, Japan and the world.
I have been interested in overseas travel since my early days, and having traveled widely around the world, I have developed a deeper interest in my own country Japan, especially Japanese crafts.
In this blog, I am going to write about Japan, Japanese craft and what I have seen and thought when travelling the world.
Between tours I organise Sashiko Classes, where you can experience the Japanese traditional stitching. I am pleased that my class can provide an opportunity to meet people and build friendships.
Please follow my Facebook / Instagram where I update new information.
