Korean embroidery is "cottage embroidery"?

Can't simply say it's a copycat

Korean embroidery is the traditional embroidery art of the Korean Peninsula, which has a certain origin with Su embroidery, but it is not a "copycat Su embroidery".

Su embroidery is one of China's four most famous embroideries, originating in the Suzhou region, with a history of more than 2,000 years.

Chosun embroidery and Suzhou embroidery both use silk thread as the main material, both focus on color and three-dimensionality, and both use figures, landscapes, flowers and birds as the main themes.12

But there are also many differences between Chosun embroidery and Suzhou embroidery:

Chosun embroidery has a much shorter history than that of Suzhou embroidery, and has been developed since around the time of the Goryeo Dynasty.1

Chosun embroidery has a more varied technique than Suzhou embroidery, with dozens of different stitches. There are dozens of different stitches.

The colors of Joseon embroidery are brighter and more intense than those of Su embroidery, which is more quiet and elegant.

The composition of Joseon embroidery is more simple and bold than that of Suzhou embroidery, while Suzhou embroidery is more delicate and complex.

Therefore, Joseon embroidery is a unique form of embroidery art and should not be regarded as "Shanzhai Su embroidery". I hope this answers your question.
