Kumiko is a traditional technique in which fine boards are cut or “mortised” together by hand, without the use of nails, to create elaborate geometric patterns. It is said that Kumiko has more than 200 types of patterns.
It has a long history and has been used in buildings dating back to the Asuka period (710-794).
Kumiko work has been used for shoji screens and transoms in Japanese-style rooms. Nowadays, it has been incorporated in various forms such as folding screens, doors, doors, and lanterns. They are used as a decorative accent in homes and rooms in both Japanese and Western styles.
