Japanese woodworking is considered by many as an art, as well as an art form or a commercial activity, and this is demonstrated by the intricate design and the specialization of joints presented in this book. More than 50 different joints are featured, ranging from traditional joints used for hundreds of years to the latest innovations in Japanese joint design.
The joints are illustrated with photographs, both complete and disassembled, as well as handcrafted technical drawings. The accompanying text describes the history of each joint, how to use them, variations, and tips for making them. There is also a comprehensive section on Japanese woodworking tools.
Dorian Bracht's extensive experience in woodworking provides readers with a complete guide to the world of traditional Japanese joinery and its influence on woodworking and joinery worldwide today.
