This picture shows the wood that the client has already purchased. It's name in Japanese is kuwa. The client has requested 2 shelves made from this wood. It is pretty challenging to work with this material, as the wood has many cracks and is curved. Tetsushi's design will accentuate the natural shape of the wood. The client has also requested 4 doors with a flower motif representing each of the four seasons to be made using marquetry and incorporated into the shelf design. Kristina is designing the flower motifs. We will post updates as the project progresses.
