The Japanese yosegi art of gluing colored wood and cutting it into thin sheets for decoration
Instead of using paint, Japanese Yosegi decorations are made out of natural fine grains and textures of wood. First, timbers are cut into rods of desired sections, the rods are then glued together to form a section of geometrical design pattern. The surface is sliced into thin plates of wood, which are glued onto boxes and other handicraft works. This mosaiclike art originated during Japan s Edo Period (17th19th century) and are still respected all over the world. Check for more Japanese arts here: http
