[SUMMARY] This paper describes in detail the changes in the making techniques of the wall­hangings tus kiiz used by the Kazakhs in Mongolia. There are two main techniques for making tus kiiz: hand sewing and sewing machines.　The creators of the hand­sewn tus kiiz are mainly women who are associated with the households using the tus kiiz. For example, women, as wives, make embroidery for their own use and mothers make gifts for their children. In addition, women with high embroidery skills may make them for commissioning.　On the other hand, machine­sewn tus kiiz are mainly made for sale in the town workshops. Kazakh women buy them for their own use or as gifts.　Despite the fact that it is now possible to buy them, women continue to make tus kiis by hand, mostly due to their personal feelings. For example, they see embroidery as a way of enjoying life and showing their love for their children. Furthermore, it is relevant to note that embroidery is one of the criteria for judging women"s ability to work in their community.　While these shared values and standards of esteem for women among Kazakhs have kept the practice of hand­sewing tus kiiz alive, the reason for the growing demand for machine­sewn wall­hangings is that some women are no longer able to manually make them.　Some young women who were born after the 1980s are unable to make tus kiiz due to their inexperience or lack of mastery of crochet embroidery techniques. In addition, the older generation, even though they have mastered the skills, are no longer able to produce due to physical problems, such as aging or chronic illness.　As mentioned above, there are reasons for the current situation in which both techniques, hand sewing and sewing machine, are used. However, given the current situation, the population of hand-stitching creators is expected to progressively decrease in the near future.
