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 Sakura is the most popular flowering plant in japan. It is a long held belief that the rice deity resides in the cherry tree. The wish for a good harvest and prosperity is thus embodied in the Sakura pattern. You can easily assemble multiple panels to a larger size.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PATTERN

Pattern meaning & origin

Sakura, or cherry blossom, is one of Japan’s most beloved flowers and is found throughout the country. Traditionally, cherry blossoms were believed to be connected to the deity of rice cultivation, and the timing and abundance of their flowering were once observed as an indication of the coming harvest. The Sakura motif therefore carries associations with abundance, renewal and the changing seasons.
