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.
