Bunka Embroidery…
Also known as Bunka Shishu and Japanese Punch Embroidery. Long Stitch Punch Needle Embroidery
This art form originated in Japan around the beginning of the last century. Bunka Embroidery is created by using a unique combination of punch needle and special silk-like rayon thread (yarn). 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. The Bunka artist uses many different stitch techniques in order to achieve the desired effect of depth and interest but unlike other forms of needle art, there are no knots to tie, and mistakes are easily corrected. Bunka Embroidery is framed under glass and is not used for decorating clothing or pillows etc.

Hand Embroidery..
Hand Embroidery mixed with Short Stitch Punch Needle
When designing, I like to combine Punch Needle Craft with simple hand embroidery stitches to add depth and texture to a needlework piece. In the example shown here, the brim and crown of the straw hat was created with the Clover Brand Punch Needle, using short stitches and embroidery floss. Hand embroidery techniques including silk shading (needle painting) and French knots were used to complete the pattern.
Also known as Mini or Fine Punch Needle Embroidery, this type of embroidery uses a punch needle with floss, perle cotton and lighter weight threads and metallics. Punch Needle Craft is incorporated into several of our Hand Embroidery kits.

We have no choice but to pause all sales and shipping to the USA.
Shipping within Canada and Overseas is not affected.
The US government has decided to place a tariff of 35% on all of your Bunka Embroidery supplies. This tariff is collected by your government from you (the importer) during delivery, and not from us (the exporter). Shipping services are assessing the new process required by US authorities which now requires the pre-payment of all tariffs, before the parcel crosses the US border. This applies to all former De Minimis (parcels valued under $800.00). We sincerely hope this situation can be resolved with some level of certainty, and that we can return to enjoying this beautiful and unique Japanese art together again.
