Instructional Books On Kumiko And Shoji
There is a series of books on Kumiko that I would recommend to use.
These books are by Desmond King who has been using traditional Japanese building techniques to make Shoji and Kumiko for many years.
Outside of the Japanese masters, he may be the foremost expert anywhere.
Basics
This introductory book is one that I refer to all the time. It examine basic shoji making, design, comprehensive background information about shoji and detailed step-by-step instructions. This is supported by many diagrams and photographs.
Techniques
Moreover order to do this craft at a good or high level you will need to practice certain techniques. This book shows you how to use the tools needed and some practice techniques used by the masters. In addition this books is pretty much an essential part of your Kumiko education.

Articles and Resources
It’s all about education. I earn a small commission from some links in my articles. This is at no extra cost to you. You get the same prices, sales and discounts as anyone else. These commissions go towards educating people interested in learning the art of Kumiko. And to support local food banks. In fact 10% of all profit goes towards food banks. If you make a purchase I want to thank you in advance.
