Embroidery began with the history of clothing. The sewing technique of sewing together animal skin with fishbone needles was eventually perfected into the technique of decorating patterns. It began in Japan during the Kofun period, and it seems that the technique of embroidering Buddha images was introduced from China during the Asuka period. Then, during the Heian period, clothing embroidery flourished magnificently.
