Ainu Embroidery
Traditional embroidery passed down among Ainu people.The patterns are a reflection of the beauty of the natural environment where the Ainu have lived since ancient times.
The handicrafts of the Ainu are decorated with traditional patterns. Some are sculpted by men on wood, bones, and horns. Others, such as clothing patterns, are embroidered by women. Traditional Ainu clothing includes the attus (coat-like garments made from the fibers of the elm tree), however, since the Edo era, clothing made from cotton, obtained from trading, has also become popular.
Various embroidery patterns, such as moreunoka (uzumaki swirling symbols) were traditionally applied around the collars, cuffs and hems of clothing. The main methods used for embroidery are seen on kaparamip (a ceremonial dress) with broad cotton strips sewn on then embroidered over; ruunpe (coat), cotton applique and chain stitch patterns; and chijiri (robe), with patterns embroidered directly on the cloth. The embroidery designs are often symmetrical, with geometric or repeating patterns.
There are various theories about the origins and meaning behind the embroidery. It is believed the patterns are a reflection of the beauty of the natural environment where the Ainu have lived since ancient times.
