The
technique of Kaga-nui embroidery was developed
in Kanazawa while it was applied to the
battle jacket of the Maeda family, the lords
of the Kaga Clan, and the family's kimono
for women.
Kaga-nui
embroidery is characterized by three-dimensional
designs of natural beauties using sink,
gold, and silver threads elaborately. The
embroidery every stitch tucked up carefully
with a unique and delicate technique creates
an elegant atmosphere.
Presently,
embroidered products, such as Western-style
cloth bags, neckties, and cushions, besides
kimonos are manufactured. |
