About Sagara Embroidery (相良刺繡)

Sagara Embroidery is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique renowned for its craftsmanship and intricate designs. Kimono adorned with Sagara embroidery are considered luxurious and often come with a high price tag due to several factors.

Firstly, Sagara Embroidery is a labor-intensive process. Skilled artisans meticulously stitch each design by hand, using techniques like satin stitching and couching. This level of detail and precision requires significant time and expertise, driving up the cost of the final product.

Secondly, the materials used in Sagara Embroidery are of exceptional quality. Fine silk is commonly used as the base fabric for the kimono. Additionally, the embroidery is done using silk threads. The use of these premium materials adds to the overall expense.

The artistic skill and heritage associated with Sagara Embroidery also contribute to its price. This traditional art form has been passed down through generations, embodying the cultural craftsmanship of Japan. Each embroidered kimono represents the culmination of centuries of refined techniques and artistic excellence, adding to its value.
