The aesthetics of linear and spatial rhythm of the structural foundations of the Okawa Kumiko style As a source to enrich woodworking arts

All arts and crafts since ancient civilizations are full of diverse, unique crafts between the countries of the world, as a result of the commercial and cultural exchange of customs and traditions...comprehensive artistic heritage in all fields and their distinguished role based on authentic handcrafted art, as a source and gateway to innovation through which we can develop and adopt a vision, methods and ideas. New in the field of teaching woodworking arts and art education.

We see that at the heart of the culture of wooden architecture in Japan lies the artistic skill and workmanship of the craftsmen who preserved the principles, methods and initial structural foundations in building. This is Japanese architecture that relies on styles passed down from generation to generation, including the Okawa Kumiko style, the most important handmade arts that has a wide scope for permanent and continuous innovation among artists and teachers of woodworking arts.

Kumiko art is a multi-functional Japanese woodworking technique that uses pieces of straight wood chips, interlocked and joined together without nails or glue, to create delicate woodworks characterized by regular geometric grids. Its components are the installation of small wooden slices together with manual skill, interlocking in a harmonious abstract manner, overlapping horizontally. And vertically by interlacing slits and grooves half over half to form a simple or complex mesh.

Many artists have paid attention to this traditional craft of wooden artwork, and it has been transformed into innovative, multi-functional, utilitarian artwork for interior furniture such as windows, doors, movable barriers, and lighting units. Many woodworks are made by using small wooden slices as intersecting particles, and the matrix to form designs, patterns, and abstract geometric expressions. Different. There are no metal fasteners of any kind, and the wooden parts are assembled together by carefully adjusting the sizes of the interlocks of the notches, grooves and corners, in addition to regular mesh work for the majority of the pieces that fit together. Geometric kumiko systems are used within the retina to highlight the geometric design.
