It first arrived in Japan in the form of embroidered Buddha images when Buddhism was introduced to Japan. The oldest surviving embroidery work in Japan is the famous Tenjūkoku shūchō (Embroidery of Long Life in Heaven, owned by Chūgū-ji Temple) commissioned by Prince Shōtoku’s wife Tachibana no Ōiratsume in memory of the Prince after his passing. Embroidery techniques were brought to Kyoto when the capital was transferred there in 794, thereby establishing the foundation of Kyoto embroidery tradition, which continues to today.

During the Heian period when native Japanese culture flourished, embroidery was widely used as to decorate clothing such as elements of the jūnihitoe (twelve-layered ceremonial robes worn by female aristocrats).
