NEW Complete Japanese Joinery by Yasuo Nakahara NEW (Paperback, 1997)
08 feb 2017
Japanese joinery is on another quality and expertise level than in western Europe
Wonderfully detailed diagrams make up the majority of this book, with a short first section describing Japanese woodworking tools and methods. A short section also describes the basic technique for fabricating some of the simpler joints, giving a good start for someone looking to try the more difficult ones. Not exactly a beginner's guide, but certainly an inspirational reference book!
