Story

Stitched by hand, one needle at a time.

Yui Kousaka, yokofuri embroidery artistYui Kousaka — GroFeLure, established 2019

I founded GroFeLure, my embroidery studio, in 2019. I began with custom computerized embroidery and later discovered free-motion machine embroidery—a technique in which I guide the fabric by hand to draw with thread.

Captivated by the depth, texture, and expressive qualities of thread, I create each piece with a desire to share the beauty of this technique with more people.

Today, I welcome commissions from Japan and around the world. My work ranges from embroidery on jackets, clothing, and accessories to embroidered canvas art, corporate logo design, and logo embroidery. From one-of-a-kind pieces to multiple-item orders using computerized embroidery, I tailor my approach to each customer's needs.

Featured on TV “Telementary” / “Until the Flowers of Hope Bloom”

A serious head injury on the verge of turning thirty ended her dream of dancing — yet she wove a new dream through embroidery. That journey was told as a television documentary.
