About the Item

A silk and gold thread embroidery of titles. Japan's textile industry was one of the first to adopt Western science and technology, and thus the Meiji era produced some of the highest quality silk textiles. The engravings of oil paintings inspired the embroideries, with the artist of the painting and the artist at the textile factory maintaining a close relationship. Japanese embroidery technique goes back more than one thousand years. It originated in China and was eventually introduced to Japan by Korean artisans; around the same time Buddhism entered Japan. In Japan, colored silks were embroidered with long soft stitches in untwisted silk threads. Flowers, birds, bold flowing lines, and abstract motifs are common in Japanese textiles, and the designs achieve a feeling of calm restraint through their spacious distribution. Also characteristic of Japanese textiles is the use of gold and silver thread. The Japanese developed a special method of creating metal threads, in which a layer of gold or silver was deposited on to rice paper, which was then cut into fine strips and wrapped around a thread core.
