Japan is synonymous worldwide with traditional timber construction and the diversified use of wood in every sphere. Out of a long-enduring tradition emerge products of unrivalled refinement, craftsmanship and minimalist design. Including bridges, dwellings, sliding doors, furniture, receptacles, tools and musical instruments, this publication presents the technique, tradition, context and production of some 30 different kinds of objects. Focusing on production, each step from material selection through to surface finish is captured in the photographs and illustrations that stem from exhaustive research in more than 60 Japanese studios and workshops.
