Japanese Joinery — Hardcover

A showcase of traditional and modern Japanese joinery techniques, featuring over 50 different joints ranging from methods used for hundreds of years to the most recent innovations in Japanese joint design. Beautiful photography paired with hand drawn illustrations brings out the intricate nature of each joint, while the accompanying text covers the history, uses, variations, and construction tips for every one. A comprehensive section on Japanese woodworking tools rounds out the book.

Written by Dorian Bracht, who began his woodworking journey with an apprenticeship in Leipzig, Germany, learning to build Japanese shoji and fusuma sliding doors as well as solid wood furniture. Working across both traditional German and Japanese techniques, Dorian has been a professional woodworker since 2012 and is now based in Berlin. This is his first book, bringing together years of hands on knowledge and passion for the craft.

Aspirational and inspirational for woodworkers of all levels, and an essential reference for anyone interested in the history and construction of traditional Japanese joints.
