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 walnutbrown, pearpink, mulberryyellow, maplewhite 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 D. King Shoji and Kumiko Design D.
