At the end of the 12th century, fine woodworking skills and knowledge were brought into Japan from China. Over time, these joinery skills were refined and passed down, resulting in the fine wood joineries Japan is known for.
Here are some examples of traditional wood joineries which are still used today.
The book I referred to when marking out the joinery:
The Complete Japanese Joinery

One of my favourite joinery book:
木組み・継手と組手の技法

  • the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzhead.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

  • 日本は湿気が多く金属の釘を使うと錆びたり、また地震が多いため木材を一体化し強化できる「継手」の技術が生まれました。また、木が腐ったところだけを切り取ってそこを新しい木材で修復できるとてもエコな技法でもあります。しかしとても難しい技術のため、今は廃れ始めているのが現状です。 In Japan, the humidity is high and metal nails can rust, and there are many earthquakes, so the technology of "継手" that can integrate and strengthen wood has been born. It is also a very ecological technique that allows you to cut out only the rotten wood and repair it with new wood. However, because it is a very difficult technology, it is now becoming obsolete.

  • I love working with wood, I've never seen joinery quite like this. No clue requires because the joins are so tight. The shape of the joins are so precise and even with expanding and contracting they won't move. This is why some of the oldest structures in Japan are still standing. I bet these were cut by hand with a Japanese saw I have one for fine cutting you get such a precise and accurate join.

Also, how can they make such precise joints with such huge beams? You can't just try out all the joints, or?

I know I am just starting out with timber framing in general and, I understand I shouldn't be so hard on myself for the lack of skill as I improve daily. But boy oh boy does that bar he set look HIGH! As an experienced Tool and Die maker/Tool Designer, I have a lot of skill with tools/calculations/drawings and so forth and, I am grateful that much transfers over from cutting steel to cutting wood (as far as general concepts/design/ thought process goes). I have a lot of respect for those who are just starting out, from square one because, there is just so much to learn. But, it IS worth every moment! Thank you very much Mr. Iwakuni for taking the time to teach myself and others. In my book, you are the best of men for sharing all that knowledge with us.
