The guys and I had an amazing private tour of the Japanese Carpentry exhibition at the beautiful JAPAN HOUSE LONDON in Kensington London. This exhibition of Japanese Carpentry showcases aspects such as the Timber grown and used, the craftspersons tools and techniques and exhibits that showcase the joinery specialisms and interesting facts
This Japanese Carpentry exhibition is called "The Carpenters' Line" and is at Japan House in London and is running until the end of Jan 2023, it is free to come in and there is a beautiful shop and restaurant to visit too
I feel deeply honoured to have been invited to Japan house for our tour and we are now super motivated to go out to Japan to look at more amazing Japanese Carpentry
