Product Description

This introduction of Japanese joinery delves into the history and development of Japanese carpentry, and it also reveals many secrets of Japanese joinery. It presents 48 joints, selected from among the several hundred known and used today. With clear isometric projections complementing the photographs, any carpenter can duplicate these bequests from the traditional Japanese carpenter. They can be applied to projects as large as the buildings for which most of them were originally devised or as small as a sewing box.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty book, but could be more useful, 31 Jul 2002

By	Andy Dingley "andy_dingley" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a very restrained book, a series of black and white photos of completed joints, with short descriptions of each. It's a popular introductory text, and deservedly so.

There are two limitations in this book, perhaps surpassed by more recent books such as "The Complete Japanese Joinery". There's no description of how to choose these joints, and where they might approriately be used. More seriously, there's no description of how to lay them out, or their traditional proportions.

Still worth having.
