New: Now Offering the NS-2 Bunka Punch Needle.
This is a Flat Stitch Bunka Needle made for use with Matsuhato bunka kits. It has a slightly different "feel" from the N3 Tokyo Bunka Needle. I find it to be the best needle to work Metallic thread with! Also, it works beautifully with Matsuhato, Tokyo and BunkaCraft fabrics.
BUNKA EMBROIDERY - Also known as Bunka Shishu, Japanese Punch Embroidery and Threadpainting, this art form originated in Japan approximately 100 years ago. It uses a unique combination of punch needle and special silk-like rayon thread (yarn) to create beautiful works of art. When completed, many pictures resemble delicately shaded paintings. In fact, the needle is held and operates in much the same manner as an artist's brush or pencil. Unlike other forms of needlework there are no knots to tie and mistakes are easily corrected.
Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009
I join those around the world who wish comfort and care to the family and loved ones of MJ.
He was an astounding performer, a creative genius and a man who composed the score that accompanied this period in history.
He will be missed.
Please enjoy your visit and feel free to contact me. It's always nice to hear from other Bunka enthusiasts!
