About Us

Welcome to The Kinu Co., where creativity meets precision!

We're a Wisconsin-based business making the beautiful Japanese art of Kinusaiga easier and more accessible for everyone.

Kinusaiga might be a mouthful, so around here, we simply call it Kinu! Same beautiful art, just a shorter name that's a little easier to say (especially before that first cup of morning coffee).

Traditionally, Kinusaiga involves carefully tucking fabric into grooves to create colorful, textured artwork without sewing. We love the art, but we also believe the preparation and searching for proper boards and adhesives shouldn't be the hardest part.

That's where we come in!

Our precision laser-cut foam boards take the tedious cutting and preparation out of the process. Each board features clean, carefully cut designs, an adhesive backing, and a sturdy support board, so you can spend less time preparing and more time creating.

Choose from our collection of designs or send us your own art to turn into a custom Kinu project.

And because we're from Wisconsin, we appreciate a good craft project almost as much as a good cheese curd. Almost.

You bring the fabric. We'll handle the precision.
