Kumiko | Mikado 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.
Known as the Mikado (emperor) pattern, this spiritual pattern that looks like a kaleidoscope demonstrates a wish of eternal life and prosperity. The triangle, the most stable polygon, has been regarded as a symbol of power and stability for its structural strength. You can easily assemble multiple panels to a larger size.
