"nishikiito" is the cosmo brand metallic thread for hand embroidery. This thread is crafted with the same technique to produce gold thread used in traditional Japanese clothing in the former capital of Japan, Kyoto.
 
There are two kinds of threads with different glosses:
[01-23] Round covered strands shine chic glosses which are reminiscent of Wa (Traditional Japan) and abrasion-resistant. They match perfectly with ordinary embroidery threads too.
[24-33] The contrast between the core thread and films give bright and gorgeous glosses. They are soft and smooth, matching with any cloth.
