Title: Fine Woodworking May/June 1982, Number 34
Description: Newtown: Taunton Press, 1982. Paper bound, large quarto, Pp99. Short tears at spine ends but a tight and unmarked, very good copy. 375 grams. Cover: Toshio Odate explains how he spaces the mortises that hold the latticework (kumiko) in a traditional Japanese sliding door (shoji). This photo was snapped during a weekend workshop at the Brookfield (Conn.) Craft Center -- Odate commenced by moving a roomful of workbenches out of his way and arranging his tools on a mat. To the Western eye, Japanese woodworking is characterized by a remarkable economy of tools, materials, and energy. The craftsman strives always to cut directly to the line.
