Highlights

 

What is a woodwork?

By using the nature of wood to "combine" trees and trees without gaps, wood can be expressed most powerful and beautifully. You can experience the skills of woodwork, which is not bonded or joined 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 may be canceled.

The hidden part is open to the public!

By dispersing Kigumi, you can see the intentions and advanced technologies contained in it for the first time. Therefore, I disassembled the contents of the wooden group, which I couldn't usually see, <the part that I've assembled>. Not only buildings, but also wooden structures such as crafts and furniture are different and amazing!

Look at the world's highest level of skill!

It is not a mass-produced manufacturing, but a mold created by complicated molding unique to handicrafts. Please see with your eyes the many works that you have made for this exhibition by the world's proud Japanese woodwork and one of Japan's leading craftsmen who use the technology.

Exhibitions

1. What is the difference?

The technique of connecting trees and trees, which has been handed down since ancient times, is full of unique fun of modeling. Here, we introduce the basic form of woodwork, which is indispensable for wooden architecture.

2. How has Kigumi changed?

The wooden structure of wooden architecture begins with logs, and after the war, metal fittings and machine tools appeared, and it continues to this day. In addition, you can also see the powerful wooden structure of the temple and shrine architecture that combines large wood.

5. Woodwork that creates 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 Japan's three most famous bridges, introduces how a huge bridge is assembled with wood.

6. Mysterious woods

At first glance, fittings that seem to be impossible to fit from anywhere in the front, back, left and right, and three-dimensional wooden puzzles that no longer know where and how they are combined. These woodwork create a complex feeling that is impressed, confused, and that is complicated.
