REMARKABLE JAPANESE STRUCTURES

Traditional Japanese structures are unique, with an emphasis heavily placed on craftsmanship, creativity and aesthetic appearance of the frame.

The traditional wooden construction of Japanese architecture is extremely detailed. Its perfect precision and craftsmanship has stood the test of time for many centuries. However, the process of handcrafting each wooden beam with mortises and tenons is quite labor intensive, and with an aging workforce, automation of the production process is key to continuing the tradition.

Here are some remarkable Japanese structures created with timber wood.
