Thank you for the tour! It's interesting to see how your equipment is slightly different than what we are taught to use in the US. Your equipment looks a bit more traditional, and it is really fun to see you use it. We use frames with lacing holes and nails instead of sendake. We also twist on awls instead of using a yoribo (twisting stick). I love old Japanese sewing boxes, your's is lovely. Your pincushions are so cute--I just use a plain needle felt, but maybe I should make something a little more whimsical!
Such a great video and explanation of each tool. Do you have suggestions for where to buy supplies in or out of Japan? What type of silk weave do you prefer? I hope we get to see how you finish these small pieces.
thank you. The silk fabric I use is the fabric for kimono, a traditional Japanese clothing. I don't know where you can buy embroidery tools overseas, but in Japan, handicraft shops and embroidery workshops sell them. Many of the vessels and figurines are handmade by artists or received as gifts. Also, when introducing tools, I will also introduce the place where they are purchased ☺️ I'll make a video of the work being made into a frame!
