About this listed panel

Kumiko is a Japanese woodwork technique that goes back to the 8th century. Having developed over a long period of time, kumiko refers to a sophisticated technique of grooving slit wooden pieces and arranging them in geometric patterns without nails as a form of wooden lattice decoration.
Each piece is assembled by hand with an accuracy of 0.1mm. Despite its delicate design, you’ll be surprised with the durability and longevity of kumiko wood panels. Made only by the best, award-winning artisans in Japan.
The hemp leaf is a traditional Japanese design element that is thought to bring good fortune.
Enclosing the leaf within a square is believed to enhance the stability of good fortune, and the aggregate of triangles denotes protection against evil.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PATTERN

Pattern meaning & origin

Kakuasa combines the traditional Asanoha motif with a square, a shape associated with stability and balance. Asanoha itself is composed of protective triangular forms and has long symbolised healthy growth and protection from misfortune. Enclosing the pattern within a square strengthens its sense of stability and protection.
