The classic work on the tools and spirit of the Japanese master craftsman.In Japan, a woodworker spends years learning to use his tools with great speed and skill. Only after he has proved his mastery can he proudly call himself a shokunin, a master craftsman.Japanese Woodworking Tools brings the traditions and training of the shokunin to the Western world. Calling on his own apprenticeship as a tategushi (slidingdoor maker), and on 40 years of woodworking experience, Toshio Odate here offers a complete guide to Japanese tools: thin saws that cut on the pull stroke, laminated chisels with hollowed backs, marking tools, waterstones, axes, hammers, and almost 50 different planes.Odate shows shows how each tool works, how it should be cared for and how it is meant to be used. He also shares stories and reminiscences that help bring home the traditions and spirit associated with each tool.Whether youre a curious beginner or an adventurous professional, Japanese Woodworking Tools will show you a whole new world of exciting craftsmanship.

The book has a lot of beautiful pictures and some interesting stories about Japanese woodworking tools. However, I felt it didn’t go into detail about how to actually use these tools. Still, it’s a nice coffee table book!

Disappointed with the Condition of Arrival
I was really excited to receive this book, but it arrived with a dented cover and some pages bent. The content seems great, but the condition made it hard to enjoy. I’m hoping the replacement will be in better shape!

A Beautiful Introduction to Japanese Tools
I recently got this book on Japanese woodworking tools, and it’s just fantastic. The illustrations are stunning, and the history really brought the tools to life for me. It’s perfect for anyone looking to dive into traditional woodworking techniques!
