The exhibition, held in a Kensington High Street basement, showcases the artistry of Japanese carpentry, highlighting aspects like Domiya daiku (temple carpentry), sukiya daiku (teahouse carpentry), and kigumi (wood joinery). It features a full-scale Sa-an Teahouse model, displays on wood joinery, and an extensive collection of over 80 tools used in carpentry. Visitors can learn about techniques and materials, including how wooden supports are crafted to sit securely on stones, enhancing appreciation for these artisans' skills.
It's not often that an exhibition can be described as beautiful, but a Kensington High Street basement is currently filled with beautiful examples of Japanese carpentry.
The exhibition focuses on three core aspects of Japanese carpentry: Domiya daiku, sukiya daiku, and kigumi, showcasing the expertise in wood joinery.
