Kumiko Starter Kit

Kumiko is a beautiful art, but it can be tricky to get started making it, because the delicate strips of wood needed to make the frame and patterns are not easy to make without a well-equipped shop. This kit solves that problem. You get two guide blocks and a the parts for small panel featuring a single asa-no-ha pattern. That includes strips with notches already cut to make the frame, and plenty of strips to make the asa-no-ha pattern, even if a few of the pattern pieces need to be remade. The guide blocks are used to cut the angles into the pattern pieces, and they can be used for many patterns other than the asa-no-ha, so as your skills grow, they are right there with you.

Kit does not include the chisel and saw show in the photograph.

These kits are currently in production, and will ship around the beginning of October 2024. They are available with one, two, or three of the small panels.
