A renewed model produced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the birth of kumikokagu. While maintaining the original structure passed down from the founder, I succeeded in reducing the weight to 60%.

I have thus succeeded in creating a kumiko pattern with dimensions close to those of artistic kumiko joineries that generally measure 2 mm x 10 mm.

It is fair to say that among kumiko techniques, this honnejigumi (fixed like a woven basket), featuring no unevenness, is the most difficult and thus the most valuable skill of all. Since ancient times, the auspicious omen patterns (kissho-monyo) have symbolized a prayer for happiness. The checkerboard pattern is incorporated in this tray using cypress (confer) and beech (broad leaf tree) with a beautiful and sturdy finish. I proudly recommend this piece to connoisseurs who are looking for more than an off-the-shelf product. This will serve as a decoration on the wall or as a tray to serve sophisticated Edo cut glasses or champaign glasses to add a bit of sparkle when entertaining guests.

A work that won a prize at the National Joinery Exhibition. A screen with an image of Mt. Zao in Yamagata Prefecture measuring 2.0 m x 3.6 m (comprising four panels), on which as many as 120,000 kumiko leaves are fixed to form traditional patterns passed down from ancient times. It took one year to complete this masterpiece, from designing, preparing a full-scale drawing, carving, polishing, and finishing, and was exhibited at the annual National Joinery Exhibition. Produced manually with almost no machine processing, this is undoubtedly one of my greatest works that vied for mastery with the works of other distinguished crafts persons from all over Japan.
