Hand work: Japanese tools and other interests!


こんにちは!大家好! Hello! Salut!

Welcome to my humble blog. I hope you'll find something interesting to read, learn or share!

The picture above is the one of my first Japanese tool. It's name is "White Phoenix", and was given to me by a Taiwanese craftman from Toufen city, Miaoli county, Taiwan. It is in red oak, and long body. The blacksmith is Yamaguchi (山口さん) from Miki city.
It was the spark that triggered my interests for handtools and Japanese tools in particular (note that the powder was ready to be ignited!).

As I have the opportunity, I will post about my other tools, my work, and why hand work matters.

I hope to write about how to use, set and care for hand tools, and Japanese tools in particular. I hope to tell about why I like Nikon Rangfinder cameras... and maybe a lot more!

Hello Ludvic,

My name is Mark Swan. I am going to start to make Shoji in the UK.

Can you help me to source excellent tools.

To begin I would like to buy a the necessary Kanna planes for Shoji making (frames and Kumiko).. Also a splitting gauge for splitting the Kumiko.

I look forward to hearing from you.
