Shoji & Kumiko 85 Vintage Designs

Shoji & Kumiko: 85 Vintage Designs was produced from the original, one of a kind c1930 Japanese Architects Design Proposal book in the collection of Gary Roberts, Publisher: Toolemera Press. www.toolemerapress.com
NOTE: This reprint was produced in-house on professional flat bed scanners from the original book in my personal collection. The Architects Designs were intended for a community outside of Osaka, Japan and were for use by local carpenters. As such, there are no titles or dimensions.
SHOJI: A Japanese screen or sliding door used to partition living spaces.
KUMIKO: A decorative and practical Japanese woodworking system consisting of lattice pieces held together through precision joinery lacking any nails or other metal supports
