FAQs

Japanese silk embroidery, known as Nihon-shishu, is a traditional decorative art form dating back centuries, often depicting natural scenes using fine silk threads on a silk ground.

These works typically utilise hand-dyed silk threads, metallic yarns, and specialised needlework techniques executed on woven silk fabrics.

Authentic pieces generally feature meticulous hand-stitching with varied thread directions, natural ageing of the silk fibres, and traditional framing methods.

Framed silk panels work well as focal points on neutral walls, adding texture and historical interest to modern living spaces.

To preserve silk art, keep it away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and use professional conservation framing with UV-filtering glass.
