Shishu 141 Iris Flower Japanese Punch Embroidery Kit

Description

The art of Bunka Shishu is a Japanese form of punch needle embroidery developed about sixty years ago from the European form of punch needle. The main difference between Bunka and the usual punch needle is that Bunka stitches are worked from the finished side of the picture, so you can see the design developing as you stitch. Bunka embroidery is a bit like a paint by number kit using thread instead of paint.
