Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
In most discussions of traditional Japanese architecture, one of the first questions to be raised is why wood has been the primary building material, contrasting so sharply with the Western tradition, whose ancient monuments were almost always of stone and brick, and even with Chinese and Korean architecture, where masonry figures almost as prominently as wood.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overview of Japanese Joinery in Carpentry and Architecture, 18 Feb 1998

By A Customer

A high-level look at Japanese joinery in carpentry and temple architecture. Good photographs and diagrams. This book would have more meaning to a carpenter as it is not an instruction book to learning and implementing these techniques.
