The Appeal of Traditional Tategu: Past Woodworking Genius Revealed in Repairs

Tategu are furnishings that partition space. The tategu of cultural property buildings in shrines and temples have been repeatedly repaired and passed down over centuries along with the buildings in which they are installed.
Many of these tategu have been partitioning space for hundreds of years. What secrets of traditional joinery and craft were revealed that could only be known from the work of repair? An expert who has long been associated with the repair of cultural properties and a veteran tategu woodworker talk about the fascinating details to be found hidden in traditional tategu.
