This handbook will describe and show all of the Bunka techniques. It is a must have if you continue with Bunka. It is laid out by the various names for each stitching technique such as The Claw Stitch or The Pine Needle Stitch. Many kits refer to the name of a stitch to be used so the Handbook is a great reference tool. The DVD is also a fantastic reference that is well made. Hosted and demonstrated by two Bunka Masters it instructs you visually on how to stitch virtually every technique there is to know and how to use various stitching tools. If you don't have access to a qualified teacher then this DVD is a great reference tool.
