Beautiful sashiko, Kanta embroidery handed down in the Bengal region of India.
The author, Mari Mochizuki, is a leading figure in the spread of Kanta embroidery in Japan.
Even now, at the age of 95, he continues to work actively, and many people go to the classrooms held at home from afar.

She studied Western embroidery for a long time from a young age, and was shocked by the Kanta embroidery she met in India when she was traveling, and began to learn techniques by herself after she was 50 years old.
Kanta, an embroidery of the life of a Bengali woman who stabs one by one for her family, has no textbook or teaching.
I have been to India many times, collecting old embroidery cloths locally, conducting research, and refining my own technique.

In addition, a valuable vintage embroidery cloth collection collected locally by the author is also posted.
