This style of embroidery has been used in many cultures, from Japan to France, and across many centuries to create a realistic, artistic, painterly effect on fabric using a needle and thread. This is why it is sometimes called needlepainting. Most people are familiar with this style of embroidery from having seen it used on Japanese kimonos or even 18th century mens frock coats, but it is a technique that can be used in many ways today from fashion and costuming to art!
