Japanese carpentry is known for its intricate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the use of high-quality wood.

This allows for great stability and longevity in structures, like temples, shrines, and traditional houses.

This exploration. was to try and understand exactly how the precision joinery works in Japanese Carpentry, replicate exactly how these pieces fit together and to spend time getting the wood textures highly detailed allowing for ultra close imagery.
