It is often known as "painting with thread" as the finished effect is one of a painting, the thread providing the texture and the colors and workmanship providing the depth. The thread is of a stretchy nature such that it stays in without knotting when punched through a tightly woven fabric. Bunka Embroidery is an art originated in Japan, at the end of Taisho era, around 1910s.
