    no idea if these are hand sewn or machine made. the owner died. just found them in a drawer. are they japanese? found in australia. looks definitely like silk thread on silk material. beautiful. any body read the writing? summer autumn winter spring?
    Ive added a picture of the back to show if its hand or machine made. My guess is its hand sewed.

      Beautiful birds and work! For sure Chinese, hand embroidery :-)
      They meant to be framed.
      Sorry, I can't help for the writing / meaning...
