Highlights

 

What is a tree group?

By using the nature of the tree to "combine" trees without gaps, wood can be expressed most powerfully and beautifully. You can experience the technique of wood-gumi, which is not bonded or bonded with hardware, not only by seeing but also by actually forming hands-on and hands-on events.
※Hands-on exhibitions and hands-on events at the Tokyo venue are subject to cancellation.

Open the hidden part!

By dissolving the wooden group, you can see the intentions and advanced technologies put in it for the first time. Therefore, I thought of the contents of the wooden group that I couldn't usually see, and the <part that I was forming>, and decomposed it. Not only buildings, but also wooden groups such as crafts and furniture are amazing!

Look at the world's best skills!

It is not a mass-produced manufacturing, but a form created by complex modeling unique to handwork. Please see with your eyes the many works created for this exhibition by the world-class Japanese wooden group and one of Japan's leading craftsmen who use the technology.

Exhibitions

1. What is the joint process?

2. How has the tree group changed?

The wooden structure of wooden architecture begins with logs, and after the war, production with metal fittings and machine tools appeared, and it continues to this day. In addition, a full-scale, powerful wooden group that combines large wood from temples and shrines is also a sight to see.

5. Wood-gumi building a bridge

An arch structure made of wood, which is rare in Japan and even in the world. The 1/2.5 model of Kintai-kyo Bridge in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is said to be one of the three major bridges in Japan, will introduce how a huge bridge is assembled from wood.

6. Wonderful wooden groups

At first glance, fittings that seem to be unable to fit from anywhere, front, back, left, left, right, or three-dimensional wooden puzzles that do not know where and how they are being combined. These wooden sets produce an impressive, confused, and complex feeling.
