Joinery Without Nails

Long before modern screws and adhesives, Japanese craftsmen created intricate wooden structures — temples, teahouses, even entire buildings — held together by nothing more than geometry, pressure, and precision. This book explores the history, philosophy, and enduring mystique of Japanese joinery , revealing it as not merely a construction method, but a worldview: one of patience, invisibility, and total devotion to fit.
