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.
