Team Embroidery Tokyo, an embroidery workshop that has passed down the traditional techniques of Edo embroidery to the present day. A member of the Tokyo Embroidery Cooperative Association, they work on a wide range of items, including sashes, kimonos, and accessories, led by a veteran artisan. While fewer people wear kimonos these days, the Team does not compromise their traditional methods in the slightest, creating numerous products unique to Edo embroidery as they continue to pass on its delicate beauty and the value of hand crafting. Their current offering is the Hitoito, pendant necklace, which brings together all their skills in one item.
