Description
Description
Japanese tools are manufactured to perform at the high level that top craftspeople demand, but they work differently from Western tools—saws cut on the pull, not the push—and need to be properly maintained to provide decades of useful service. Covering four major tool categories—plus sharpening stones—the authors guide the woodworker or hobbyist step by step, using detailed line drawings and concise how-to explanations.
Kip Mesirow is a metal craftsman who studied joinery with Makoto Imai, the highly regarded teahouse builder. Ron Herman is a prominent landscape designer who studied the history of Japanese gardens at Kyoto University and has been teaching at UC Berkeley in the departments of architecture and landscape architecture as a visiting lecturer for 20 years.
