Completely Hand Stitched
Susho is created one stitch at a time, using tiny needles and naturally-dyed silk thread on pure silk canvases. The exquisite design of the patterns, vivid color combinations, & masterful craftsmanship of the ancient embroidery techniques make Susho a unique and stunning form of art.
Famous Chinese Imperial Art
Over 2000 years ago, the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, who created the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army, designated eleven families to create all the imperial needlework, Susho. Until about 100 years ago, this silk artwork was only available to Chinese royalty.
Family Legacy
The House of Zhang proudly descends from one of the original eleven families. Over the centuries, we have passed and refined this ancient tradition of silk embroidery from generation to generation. King Silk Art is now based in the United States.
