@od_form: the traditional Japanese method of making foundation. knocking down stones to form a stable base, then shaping wooden pillars to match the contours of the stone they rest upon. this careful process ensures the pillars neither sink nor absorb moisture. due to the need for earthquake-resistant construction, most new buildings now have concrete foundations. as a result, this technique is becoming increasingly rare @mtfujiwcs . . . #japanesewoodworking #craft #carpentry #traditionalcraft
