Synopsis
This lively introduction to Japanese joinery not only delves lovingly into the unique history and development of Japanese carpentry, but also reveals many secrets of Japanese joinery. Presenting 48 joints, selected from among the several hundred known and used today, this visually exciting book will please anyone who has ever been moved by the sheer beauty of wood. With the clear isometric projections complementing the 64 pages of stunning photographs, even the weekend carpenter can duplicate these bequests from the traditional Japanese carpenter, which can be applied to projects as large as the buildings for which most of them were originally devised or to projects as small as a sewing box.

    A pleasure to view many times.

    This is a classic on the subject. Beautiful black and white photos that do the subject justice as opposed to color photos in my opinion. I bought a first printing in approx.1980 but lost it to a loan out. I liked it so much that I just had to replace it. I actually like the new updated cover better also. It's more of an art type of book rather than a text book of many, many joints.

    Pretty Informative

    Interesting how Korea and China influenced Japanese construction techniques. Basic structure joinery explained with minimal/no use of iron?steel fasteners to hold it together. Also covers a bit about how, as wood supplies changed, methods changed also.
