Miao Embroidery and Designs

A visual book that fully conveys the embroidery of the Miao ethnic minority in Guizhou Province, China, elevated to the level of art.

The Miao people, who have no written language, have passed down their stories through song and depicted gods and daily life through embroidery. Their embroidery is renowned for its artistic sensibility and exceptional craftsmanship. From cotton and hemp cultivation to spinning and decoration, it is not uncommon for a single garment to take years to complete.
These extraordinarily beautiful embroideries were not made for royalty or nobility but for ordinary people, serving as talismans to protect their loved ones.

*This book does not have embroidery patterns.
