Traditional Japanese Wood Preparation at Hatsurokai

The processes used in traditional Japan to turn a tree into usable material. At the hewing festival with friends of my teachers, I saw and participated in hewing, adzing, spear plane usage, sawing and watched some amazing Kanna demonstrations. This is how material was traditionally prepared for Japanese timber frames and temple construction. What an amazing group of people and wonderful time. Enjoy!
