Hi Guys!!!
This video introduces the process of designing traditional Japanese design with 10,000 tiny pieces of wood .

Kumiko is a delicate and sophisticated technique of assembling wooden pieces without the use of nails. The technique was developed in Japan in the Asuka Era (600-700 AD), and has since been refined and passed down through generations of craftsmen who are passionate about the tradition of Kumiko

▶Craftsman Passion
"I really enjoy thinking and create something that combines tradition and practicality"
While my work does not allow even a 0.1mm error to make perfect crafting, I always think the ideas need to have flexibility. It is definitely true that I need to produce within the rules, but I also want to create a series of products that answer the needs of today with free thinking.
