Sachiko Hirose

Sachiko Hirose

After studying Japanese embroidery and design at junior college, Ms. Hirose went on to learn textile dyeing, from there proceeding to Edo embroidery. Combining various-and-sundry embroidery methods, she selects the optimal materials from a multitude of threads of different textures, completing her works with detailed designs, including the arrangement of the colors. Though this extremely detailed work requires a high level of meticulousness, nothing makes Ms. Hirose happier than creating an item true to her original image of it. Seeing her clients pleased with her work motivates her to continue perfecting her art.
