Japanese "Kumiko Zaiku" : 1400 Years of Timeless Japanese Woodcraft

Kumiko is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that creates intricate geometric patterns by interlocking pieces of wood without the use of nails. Originating over 1,400 years ago alongside the introduction of Buddhism, this technique has evolved uniquely through the refined sensibilities of the Japanese people. The process involves meticulously crafting small wooden components called "leaves" and assembling them by hand within a lattice framework, resulting in a distinctive beauty. This craftsmanship is applied to architecture, furniture, and lighting fixtures, symbolizing the fusion of traditional artistry and modern design in Japanese craftsmanship.
