The special joint

Good evening!!
Japan is the night now.

This article is about the "special joint".

Traditional building of Japan, has been built in a combination of wood.
Without using nails or bond, it is possible to assemble sturdily.

In order to join the wood,
we need to create a complex junction of the shape.

Complex junction called "TSUGITE（継手）" and "SHIGUCHI（仕口）"
Kind of "TSUGITE" and "SHIGUCHI" There are so many.
And also, there is a role for each.

From now on, I will describe various "TSUGITE and SHIGUCHI" towards readers.
First of all, i will introduce basic two.

① KOSHIKAKE KAMA TSUGI　（腰掛け鎌継ぎ）
This TSUGITE is what I will be most frequently used.
The time required to make one place is approximately 30 minutes.
Of course, if use the machine, it is more faster.
However, the hand processing is more artistic.

②KOSHIKAKE ARI TSUGI　（腰掛け蟻継ぎ）
It is simpler than KOSHIKAKE KAMA TSUGI.
It uses at small load place.

Still there are kind of a lot!
Since going to introduce little by little, please look forward to!
See you next!

Tool of the Japanese carpenter

Hello!

This time, I would like to introduce about the tools of the Japanese carpenter.
When we build a building, we use a variety of tools.
Hammer, Saw, Chalk Line, and shock driver...So many tools exist.
In Japan too, Japan own tool exists.

Japanese carpenter particularly cherish "the three tools"
It's ... "TYOUNA" "SUMITSUBO" "SASHIGANE".

"TYOUNA" is a tool similar to a hatchet.

"TYOUNA" can cut the surface of the tree,and can to engrave the pattern.
But it is not used a lot recently.
Because the machine has spread.
Traditional carpenter and temple carpenter, uses even now.

"SUMITSUBO" is the "Chalk Line".

We do not buy the "SUMITSUBO".
It will make on your own.
As yourself easy to use, I make on your own.
By doing so, it will rise the carpenter technology.
It is one of the training.

"SASHIGANE" is can mark, can draw a line, and can use that to determine the angle.

Module that Japanese carpenter uses is unique.
It is not even "inch" or "cm".

The "SUN (寸)"
Incidentally...
1SUN（寸） =＝1.19inch
1SHAKU（尺）＝11.9inch
1BU（分）＝0.119inch
1RIN（厘）＝0.0119inch
1MOU（毛）＝0.0019inch

Also from the next time, will continue to Introduce about the tools of the Japanese carpenter.
See you !!
