The Art of Japanese Joinery showcases traditional and modern joinery techniques through beautiful photography and detailed technical illustrations. Japanese joinery is viewed by many as being both an art and a craft or trade, and this is demonstrated by the intricate design and craftsmanship of the joints featured in this book.

Over 50 different joints are showcased, ranging from traditional joints which have been used for hundreds of years to the most recent innovations in Japanese joint design.

Author: Born in Los Angeles in 1986, Dorian Bracht spent his early years in California and Hong Kong. After finishing school, he embarked on an apprenticeship in Leipzig, Germany, to learn how to build Japanese shoji and fusuma sliding doors, as well as solid wood furniture. During this time, Dorian learnt both traditional German and Japanese woodworking techniques. With a huge passion for joinery and woodcraft, Dorian has been working as a talented woodworker since 2012.
