A landscape scene of the Mount Fuji and some nature around with various traditional Japanese Kumiko patterns.

One goal of this project was to design a decent large panel with small triangles inside, enough to give a good resolution but also with sufficient space inside to work the patterns.

There are 8 Kumiko patterns in the scene, all from different wood types, with different natural colors, like walnut-brown, pear-pink, mulberry-yellow, maple-white and so on, each used at its best to represent the landscape items.

■ For the design I've used this fantastic web app created by Douwe https://www.kumikodesigner.com/
