Today I Learned #7 Shocking story of Japanese Art!! Sashimono is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that dates back to the 8th century. It involves intricate joinery without the use of nails or adhesives. Master craftsmen carefully cut intricate interlocking joints, fitting the wooden pieces together with precision and artistry. This ancient craft reached its zenith during the Edo period, when sashimono was used to construct elaborate temples, shrines, and residences for samurai and nobility. The most famous example is the Hōryū-ji Temple, whose wooden pagoda has withstood earthquakes and fires for over 1,300 years through the strength of its sashimono joints. Today, sashimono remains a revered art form, with skilled artisans preserving this woodworking heritage by creating stunning furniture and architectural marvels that showcase the beauty of wood and the ingenuity of Japanese carpentry.
