American Bunka Embroidery Association
"Painting with Thread"
Welcome!
You have reached the home page of the American Bunka Embroidery Association, an association of avid Japanese Bunka enthusiasts.
 
The association is a "not for profit" association designed to promote, teach and enjoy the art of Japanese Bunka Embroidery.
 
We collect annual dues ($20.00 U.S.) so we can mail newsletters and try to keep the membership informed and interested throughout the year. Some of this money goes towards our annual seminar.
 
Reminder: If you want any issues discussed by the Council of Masters at the summer seminar put your issue in writing and send it to the President or Vice President by June 1, of this year.
 
The American Bunka Embroidery Association is made up of chapters in many areas of the United States of America and Canada. The Chapter president provides a contact point between the local teachers and students and the Council of Masters and elected officers of the association.
 
The association gives Bunka stitchers the opportunity to have their work judged and also to submit their own designs, which can be made into kits and taught, thus promoting and expanding the art.
 
A slate of officers is elected once every two years at the annual general meeting at the Summer seminar, in keeping with the bye-laws of the association. The next election is in Lexington, Kentucky in the Summer of 2011.
