Fukumoto constructs his textiles using a unique technique he describes as textile inlay, or nuno-zōgan, in which he reassembles small pieces of cut dyed fabric into larger mosaics, creating intricate and vibrant compositions. Each fragment interacts uniquely with light and perspective, creating shifting impressions depending on the angle from which the work is viewed.
