THE ART OF JAPANESE JOINERY by Kioysi Seike
The classic text on Japanese joinery and carpentry, filled with detailed photographs and illustrative drawings. This beautifully redesigned edition of the acclaimed introduction to Japanese joinery examines the unique history and development of Japanese carpentry and illustrates the essential techniques of this historic form of woodworking. It includes:
Explorations of the genesis and functions of Japanese joinery
A curated selection of forty-eight key joint methods
Pages of stunning, detailed photographs
Clear isometric presentations of the joint types
With the descriptions and illustrative examples provided, even the weekend carpenter can duplicate these techniques, which can be applied to projects as large as the buildings for which most were originally devised or as small as a sewing box.
