The Story
Kumiko (組子) is the ancient craft of assembling small wooden pieces into precise geometric patterns. Practiced for centuries in shoji screens and tansu drawer faces, we asked our maker to translate the technique into the grip of chopsticks — so everyday meals carry a moment of quiet craft.
