CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Good intro to shoji -
I've read the book 3 times already, and refer back to it frequently. It gives a good introduction to shoji, but I find that it is meant to be a refresher for an actual class. Some sections are vague, such as calculating board feet, so I had to go to woodworking websites for that exact procedure.

The book was good enough to make me acquire two Japanese pull saws and a marking guage. I'm in the process of getting a finishing plane, so maybe I will then see how I do on actually constructing a shoji screen using the book's tips! Tool vendors seem to know the author, so he does know his stuff.

Shoji: How to Design, Build, and Install Japanese Screens -
This is an excellent guide to making japanese screens.if you are a beginer or a pro i think youll find this the ideal choice to start off with.

Great Starter for Westerners -
Can not say enough about this book, it gives you a good start if you know a little about wood, but does not stop there.

If you get this book you'll enjoy that it does not insult your interest by just showing pictures of work only a master could do. It gives the information needed to do your first design plus what you'll need once you understand the methods.

Thanks Jay, you have given me a great new experience.
