The Eternal Beauty of Rhythm – Japanese Group Fine Arts

In Japanese, it is called kumiko, with complex and diverse patterns that do not require a single nail or rivet, forming a subtle combination of mortise and tenon. The assembly craftsmanship has very high requirements for the size, angle, and accuracy of materials.

Simple patterns can become a timeless art due to careful arrangement. Just repeat the basic patterns continuously, you can get the impressive beauty of rhythm. If you want more advanced and complex patterns, you can choose several patterns to combine at will. The general advanced group fine products are usually composed of 2-3 basic small patterns, which are often used on common articles such as Sliding door, cabinets, household utensils, etc.

As the group needs to be light, straight and easy to process, it needs to use hardwoods such as coniferous wood. The common ones are juniper (Muzengbei), Picea sitchensis, Shendai, also known as millennium cedar, ground cedar (Baitai), Akita, ground cedar (naked), and yellow cedar.
