Japanese Kumiko
What is it?
Kumiko is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that involves intricate, interlocking patterns crafted without the use of nails or screws.
Originating in Japan over a thousand years ago, Kumiko is renowned for its precision and artistry. The technique is often used in decorative panels, doors, and screens, and lanterns where geometric patterns are formed by carefully fitting together thin, precisely cut wooden pieces.
The Process
The making of Kumiko parts is a formidable process with pieces being handled individually. Each piece must fit to within a tolerance of .1 mm or less.
The Art
The beauty of Kumiko lies in its delicate, yet incredibly strong construction. The interwoven patterns create mesmerizing visual effects and offer both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
With roots in Japanese architecture, Kumiko can be seen in everything from sliding shoji doors, decorative wall panels, or even to cover unsightly vents or windows adding a touch of elegance and craftsmanship to any space.
The Passion
The art of Kumiko and the precision in the process allows me to escape from the world and focus on the geometric beauty that forms. It is my desire that these pieces create the same escape and focus for you.
