This handy pocket size book is beautifully illustrated. It records a unique collection of craftsmen's tools. The Japanese cherish the exquisite in all things. They lavish elegance and refinement not only on the products of their artistry but on the very tools that conjure them into existence. Before qualifying as a carpenter in the Edo period, an apprentice had to make his own tools. The dedication and care that went into their creation was regarded as the measure of his skill. The Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe houses a treasure trove of this long and proud tradition.
