History of the Craft
Suzhou embroidery, known as Su Xiu, has a history of over two thousand years. It began in ancient Suzhou, a city famous for its silk and craftsmanship. Over time, Su embroidery became one of China’s four major embroidery styles, known for its delicate stitches, smooth silk threads, and lifelike images. Each piece reflects the patience and elegance of Suzhou culture.
