Kumiko | Goma patterns
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.
Since historical times, the Goma motif was thought to bestow perpetual youth and long life.
The pattern is generally favoured by restaurant owners as it augurs well for the health and longevity of their customers.
