Bunka shishu embroidery

 

Bunka shishu embroidery, often simply referred to as "Bunka embroidery," is a Japanese form of needlework that originated in the mid-20th century. It involves using specialized thread and a unique tool called a Bunka punch to create raised designs on fabric. Bunka embroidery typically features vibrant and colorful designs, often depicting nature, animals, and traditional Japanese motifs. This technique creates a textured and three-dimensional effect, making the designs stand out from the fabric.
