The Art of Japanese Joinery by Kiyosi Seike
This lively introduction to Japanese joinery not only delves lovingly into the unique history and development of Japanese carpentry, but also reveals many secrets of Japanese joinery.

With the clear isometric projections complementing the 64 pages of stunning photographs, even the weekend carpenter can duplicate these bequests from the traditional Japanese carpenter, which can be applied to projects as large as the buildings for which most of them were originally devised or to projects as small as a sewing box.Professor of Architecture at Tokyo Institute of Technology Kiyosi Seike is also a practicing architect in Japan and overseas. In both Japanese and English, he has authored numerous books and essays about architecture.
