What Is Japanese Joinery?
Japanese joinery is a centuries-old woodworking method where pieces of timber are joined together without nails, screws, or glue. Instead, the wood is carefully cut to interlock perfectly, creating both strength and elegance.
This method not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also respects the natural beauty and integrity of the material, resulting in furniture and structures of enduring quality and timeless appeal.
