Kimika Hara is an Embroidery artist and illustrator from Kyoto, Japan.
Hara’s style of needlework highlights the culture of Kawaii, a style that celebrates all things adorable and embraces fictional characters as the embodiment of positivity.
The artist uses fabric, thread, acrylic paint, and beads to create colorful, free-stitch embroideries.
Her designs embrace subjects such as dogs, flowers, and even insects, her color choices bringing light and depth to her Kawaiian figures.
Her technique includes combining loose satin stitching embroidery with painted, appliqued, patched and corded pieces.
A lot of work goes into each one of Hara’s embroideries, which can be seen on closer inspection.
The themes are fun, cute, and something that makes you feel a little happy when you look at it.

I have always admired hand-to-eye coordinate talents like needlepoint and embroidery and crocheting. I think it takes a huge amount of patience, something which I often lack.

So do I. The artist is from Japan, and there is little on the Internet about her work. That’s too bad, because she’s fabulous.
