Silk
Hand Embroidered Japanese Prints

Woodblock
printing in Japan is a technique best known for its
use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre; however, it was
also used very widely for printing books in the same
period. Woodblock printing had been used in China
for centuries to print books, long before the advent
of movable type, but was only widely adopted in
Japan surprisingly late, during the Edo period
(1603-1867). The technique is essentially the same
as that which is called woodcut in Western
printmaking.
Su
silk hand embroidery in Suzhou China is a unique art
form to paint with needle and silk threads. The
embroidery pictures are entirely hand embroidered
with silk threads. The embroidery artist in Suzhou
split one full silk strand into many thinner silk
threads. They mix the the silk threads so well that
the embroidery is very smooth and looks like a
photograph.
Silk embroidered Japanese prints are an
experiment that Su Embroidery Studio (SES) makes to
combine the these two unique arts. Below is a silk
hand embroidery work made from a Japanese woodblock
print by a skilled embroidery artist named Zhang
Jianying in Suzhou.
