Crowdfunding for Virtual 2022 Nuido World Exhibition
This October, we are planning to hold an exhibition to share Nuido, the way of embroidery, which has the potential to move people's hearts in Ginza, Tokyo. However, it is also true that most people will not be able to attend due to the current situation happening in the world. This is why we started the Zoom classes and it made it possible to overcome such trials and has been quite successful to produce gorgeous embroidery pieces! This crowdfunding is to make people possible to view the Nuido World Exhibition virtually from the internet. Kurenai-kai and The Japanese Embroidery Center inc would like to ask you to participate in this crowdfunding to make this happen!

We were born and raised in the Kurenai-kai workshop established by our grandparents. From the time we were born, we were surrounded by many apprentices in addition to our families, and our grandfather taught us how to embroider along with our siblings for as long as we can remember.
We were attracted by the rigor of embroidery, which cannot be done overnight, and the charm that emerges from it, and I am now struggling to spread Japanese embroidery to as many people as possible.
What we find most attractive about Japanese embroidery is that it moves people's hearts.
We have seen moments when Japanese embroidery opens up various possibilities for people and places. At Japanese embroidery productions and exhibitions, we see a wide variety of smiles and emotions, from elementary school students to people reaching 100 years of age, transcending gender and race.
On October 12 - 16, 2022, we will hold the "Embroidery Way World Exhibition" in Ginza and exhibit the "Fractal Project," which will be created together with many people from all over the world, in the hope of communicating the appeal of this traditional Japanese culture and the potential of Japanese embroidery to as many people as possible.
We believe that the essence of Japanese embroidery lies in "the heart that thinks of others. At Kurenai-kai, we have always valued this, and have focused on creating embroideries that support disaster and other affected areas, as well as exchanges with people from other countries.
Through Japanese embroidery, which has the power to cheer, heal, encourage, and support people, we hope to expand our circle of exchange with people from all walks of life. We hope that you will join us in supporting the "Embroidery World Exhibition.
