Household fixtures become richer with ”kumiko” craft and expression of the woodKoji Shimano of Shimano Woodwork Studio is a ”kumiko” craft artisan who makes ornamental fixtures such as shoji screens and transoms. ”How many colors are you able to express?” When looking at the shoji screen with a gourd on it, Nakata commented, ”It’s interesting to see how the designs overlap when the screens are opened.” But when the light was turned off, the painting of a gourd appeared faintly. |
