#toshioodate

Wanting to get into woodworking more so I've been reading a few books here and there. Tradition joinery has always fascinated me and Japanese carpenters have amazing skills and traditions with the technique. This book focuses on tradition Japanese tools and the use and care. There is an interesting subtext in the book describing traditional apprenticeship in Japanese culture. Toshio Odate describes his time as an apprentice under his father, which was a non-traditional way of doing apprenticeship in Japan. #woodworking #tools #japan #japanesewoodworkingtools #toshioodate #toshio #odate #joinery #reading #neverstoplearning #feedyourbrain
