Hey Scott,
Do you have a scanner and an inkjet printer? I've used both to scan in a hummingbird with flowers then print as a prototype inlay on a kayak I'm working on for my friend, Barb. That Japanese art is challenging 'cause it's so elemental. No extra lines, colors, etc. and everything designed to fit in a particular space. Is it possible to scan in the art work Arica liked, then print it up as a large cutout for arrangement on the deck? That could give you the necessary pattern for the actual wood inlay. I know someone who did that with a piece of ivy for a woodworking project...a cabinet, not a kayak.
