Outline of the exhibition | A craftsman who uses wood like a house carpenter. However, the method and tools are very different. Japan's shipbuilding industry, which once became the world's best, has developed the skills of ship carpenters and blacksmiths cultivated since the age of wooden ships. In this exhibition, we will explain the world of ship carpenters from the perspective of tools.
Now wooden ships have finished their role, and there are almost no ship carpenters. However, in order to preserve that valuable traditional technique, there are Americans who are actually studying and inheriting that technique. Douglas Brooks studied last year with Oo Murakami, a ship carpenter from the Sanriku region who suffered catastrophic damage in Great East Japan Earthquake. This time, we will release the process of actually producing the Isobune.        | Exhibition Period | March 26 (Sat) to May 22 (Sun), 2016 | | Venue | Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum 1F Hall | | Hours | 9:30 to 16:30 (entrance is until 16:00) | | Closed | Monday (or the next day if it is a national holiday) | | Admission | 500 yen for general, 300 yen for Odaka students, free for junior high school students and younger.
