Visiting other Japanese artisans' ateliers

We are honored to introduce Ms. Kiyomi, an exceptional artist who has transformed traditional Yokoburi embroidery into an esteemed art form. Starting with a love for painting, she discovered Yokoburi embroidery, a unique style that brings 3D designs to life. Her dedication and passion have led her work to be showcased in top fashion collections across the globe, earning her well-deserved recognition. Despite challenges, she proves that machine-made pieces can indeed be works of art. At 83, she continues to create with unwavering enthusiasm. As part of our new series, “Visiting other Japanese artisans' ateliers", by EL Canek, we celebrate the talent and determination of Ms. Kiyomi.
