Kanawatsugi uses a series of interlocking wood joints.
Today, there are many methods of interlocking joints in woodworking, but for the most part, they all require some form of an additional attachment. Wood glue is traditionally used to create laminar beams and other connections, but with a perfect system of joints, nothing else is needed. That's where the scarf joint method, or kanawa tsugi , enters.
Later on, these craftsmen went on to build some of the most long-lasting structures of Japan using kanawa tsugi. Back in the day, almost a thousand years ago, people in Japan had a hard time accessing iron. Hence, they had to rely on their skills to make up for what was missing in materials, eventually turning their work intoThe engineering behind it? The system of interlocking joints is engaged using a wedge, which is hammered into open slots left in the wood by design.
Building techniques have evolved quite a bit thanks to the modern industrial revolution, but there are still groups out there, perpetuating the beautiful old methods of construction that are in sync with nature.
