Shin-Bijutsukai Camelia's borduurpakket

The 5x5 canvas is perfectly pre-gridded, so the camellias came out needlepoint-straight without any counting headaches. I love that the design feels like a genuine slice of 1900s Japanese art rather than a modern imitation. It’s the most calming project I’ve picked up in ages, and the finished piece

I finally sat down with this kit last weekend and the canvas threads are so precisely counted, it made the stitching almost meditative. The camellia design has a lovely, understated elegance that feels authentically vintage.

The 5x5 canvas is perfectly sized for a quick weekend project, and the accurate print means I didn't have to squint at a chart. Finished it in three evenings, and the camellias look like they belong in a museum.
