Title: Japan--culture of wood
Description: "This book presents the products, techniques, craft skills and manufacturing steps for about 30 types of wooden objects and constructions, on the basis of years of research in Japanese workshops. The range extends from bridges via houses to receptacles and musical instruments. The descriptions are built around the various stages in the craft processes. The individual working steps, from selecting the material to surface finish, were captured on the spot by the distinguished photographer Roland Bauer, in a series of images. The structure and manufacture of these wooden objects become easy to understand."--BOOK JACKET.
