Description
In Japan, it’s traditional to give a person a bouquet of flowers when he or she begins a major new venture. This bouquet is given to the new student to begin their training in Japanese Embroidery. It is a gift from the Heart of Japan.
This design is composed of primary colors, red for the dianthus, blue for the iris, and yellow for the valerian. To these fundamental colors, the feminine color of purple was added along with green. Dark brown was used to add depth to the design, while white offers a sense of spaciousness. Gold provides a touch of luxury.”
Classes are held multiple times annually. New Students Class or Phase I is held in conjunction with the All Phases Class and is targeted toward those with no experience in Japanese Embroidery. Simple techniques, such as how to hold a needle, assemble a frame, stitch direction, etc. are taught. In addition, Japanese embroidery concepts called Nuido, the way of embroidery, will also be introduced.
About Us
The Japanese Embroidery Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, was founded in 1989 by Shuji Tamura, the successor of late master Iwao Saito in Kurenai-kai, Japan and his wife Masa Tamura. The Japanese Embroidery Center (JEC) is a nonprofit educational organization whose mission is to preserve and perpetuate the cultural heritage of Japanese embroidery through the pursuit of Nuido™, The Way of Embroidery.
The word Nuido™ is made up of two parts; Nui, or embroidery (also shishu), and Do, the way of Nui refers to the acquisition of technical skills and knowledge. Do refers to the development, and constant discovery, of the spiritual components of the art of Nuido™. Nuido™ has three aspects: the acquisition of technical skills and knowledge (rationality), the development of artistic sensitivity and awareness (sensitivity), and understanding the spiritual aspects of shishu (spirituality), resulting in a state of peace, calm, and harmony.
We have been operating this organization since 1989
There are members all around the world
Our mission is to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Japanese embroidery through the pursuit of Nuido™, The Way of Embroidery.
We are trying to practice the path of Nuido that is aimed at the integration of Nui (techniques) and Do (spirit).
