Mount Fuji - Kumiko Landscape Panel - Japanese Woodworking

A landscape scene of the Mount Fuji and some nature around with various traditional Japanese Kumiko patterns. One goal of this project was to design a decent large panel with small triangles inside, enough to give a good resolution but also with sufficient space inside to work the patterns. There are 8 Kumiko patterns in the scene, all from different wood types, with different natural colors, like walnut-brown, pear-pink, mulberry-yellow, maple-white and so on, each used at its best to represent the landscape items. ■ For the design I’ve used this fantastic web app created by Douwe ■ A good reference in Kumiko making are these books from Des King: Shoji and Kumiko Design vol.1, Shoji and Kumiko Design vol.2, Shoji and Kumiko Design vol.3, ■ Tools used in this video: Suizan 6” Dozuki Saw - ​ (A
