    Default Heritage of Kumiko Crafts

    This popped up on the Youtube watch list. I never tire of watching people who have dedicated themselves to a craft or art.

    Well since most of us cannot afford sliding screens or folding screens, but maybe you can swing for a tradional lamp.

    or if that is too rich, you can go for some coasters

    Fitting it together to go under a vase looks nice.

    Glad I found this thread.

    There is a Woodcarving show that happens in Mesa, AZ every year in late February. I was at the show in Feb 2020, just before the world ended, and there was a group of hobbyists there demonstrating Kumiko. It was mesmerizing watching them. I was so fascinated that I went back the next day and brought my wife with me, saying you have to see what these guys are doing. I knew she would be intrigued as she is a quilter. I had to almost pull her out of there.

    Of course there was no show in 2021, and I would not have been able to be there anyway, but the show returned in 2022 and I was quite disappointed that the Kumiko people were not there. Maybe this year.

    I am currently VERY slowly working my way through trying to install a Kumiko “peek a boo” panel in a cabinet door frame I am making.

    If it turns out acceptably I will post a picture later.

    Utterly astonishing. The kind of skill that makes one think "I will never in my life be able to create something as beautiful as this, but am overjoyed that there are people out there that can." Beautifully filmed and edited by a skilled producer as well.

    Kigumi House build from the same source (a craft museum?) as the original video. Also very good, would love to see my own house built this way.
