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. 

 Please enjoy your visit and feel free to contact me.  It's always nice to hear from other Bunka enthusiasts!
