About

Ink Red-crowned Crane | Shu Embroidery

This elegant crane is brought to life through delicate silk stitches that mimic the flow and texture of real feathers. Embroidered in the expressive style of traditional Chinese ink-wash painting, the piece captures a sense of grace and quiet movement. The soft gradients and brush-like strokes achieved with thread give it a painterly quality—blurring the line between painting and embroidery. A beautiful blend of tradition and artistry, it’s a true showcase of fine silk craftsmanship.

Employing 1-ply and 2-ply silk threads (1/16 and 1/8 of a single silk thread), the embroidery attains an unparalleled level of high-quality fineness.
