Description

The popularity of Japanese woodworking tools and techniques has experienced steady growth among both the hobbyist and the professional woodworker.

This book, originally published in 1984, is considered the authoritative work on the subject. The author Toshio Odate, not only discusses all the tools used by a typical Japanese woodworker, but also infuses the book with his own memories of a rigorous apprenticeship in Japan, and how a classically trained-craftsman comes to understand the spirit of each tool and the true nature of craftsmanship.

Excellent book

Just what I needed to help me understand why Japanese and western woodworkers have evolved such contrasting tools. The author's anecdotes explain further and help to make the text enjoyable, not just a reference work.

A book without equal...

Toshio Odate's 'Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their Spirit Tradition, Spirit and Use' is the best book to buy on the subject matter and Japanese Tools Australia is the best place to buy it.
