Kumiko | Izutsu 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.
The pattern originates from the square fence that surrounds a well. As water is essential for life, it signifies the protection of our daily lives. Also, money used to be referred to as a “coin fountain” and thus wishes for financial and business success are also incorporated in this pattern. You can easily assemble multiple panels to a larger size.
