Autors' Comments
This book explains splices and connecting joints of traditional Japanese wooden architecture with pictures and diagrams. Although plenty of books have been published about splices and connecting joints, none of them have used both pictures and diagrams as illustrations. In most cases, pictures have only showed one or two examples of a joint and it is difficult to comprehend the complexity involved in joining the parts. Consequently, we decided to use several pictures and diagrams showing the sequence of assembly which will hopefully make the descriptions easier to follow. Dimensions have also been included, a feature not found in most other publications.
Our first objective is to ensure that traditional workmanship skills are accurately transferred to the next generation. Our predecessors accumulated the know-how necessary to achieve complex and effective design over the years. The intricacy of the joints enhance the character of the wood, bringing it alive. Many of these joints preserve the natural strength ratio carefully balancing shear, bending, torsion, compression and taking shrinkage into account.
Our second objective is to see whether these techniques can be utilized in contemporary architecture. This book describes the original characteristics of the joints. Some modifications might be required to make them effective for today's building technology. Bolts and modern adhesive could be used. The authors do not want to make such proposals; we leave it to the readers.
