    Perspectives you’ll be chewing on for many years
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2018*

A Sherpa friend told me, “there are two countries an American should travel to: India and Japan.”Yes, an expensive book... but, exceptionally well constructed, beaurltiful photography, top quality paper and a rarely seen durable dust jacket.Like quality tools, worth the investment.Although I’ve  built a few wooden boats,  I don’t have a deep interest in Japanese boats, in particular.The apprenticeship element of the book was what drove me to press buy. I have facilitated adventures in a high school for 25+ years, as a side job.This year has been a challenging one, with students consistently refusing to gain deeper insight through their own studies. We cancelled a month long trip to Lake Powell because I would not be able to lecture them through a difficult situation.Douglas Brooks description of having apprenticed and mentored others, in a shrinking industry (wooden boatbuilding) has given me a fresh perspective of another way to pass on what we have learned, so the next generation can go farther than we could.This book is a striking success, from every perspective. Well written, illustrated and produced.  The Japanese approach to boatbuilding and passing on knowledge has me looking at how I do things from new directions, which is what the goal of travel should be.

    Great achievement
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015*

This is one of the best books written about traditional Japanese craft techniques. I would give it a quarter-star less for his prejudice against scholars (I mean the ones he does mention are clearly ivory tower types, but there are those who are not). Still, it is well written, nicely illustrated, easy for non-Japanese readers to follow, and even for non-carpenters (as a social portait of Japan, it is also a great work). This is one of the few $75 books I feel really is worth the money. It must have cost a lot to publish, not to mention the years of work Mr. Brooks put into it. Just a great achievement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful done
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021*

The best resource of Japanese wooden boat building in english, beautifully produced. Its many details will be lost without a boatbuilding background, but as a story of an almost lost world it excels. And it echos many of my experiences in interacting with the Japanese culture.
