A beautiful photo book (vol. 1) of Japanese woodworking hand tools crafted by master blacksmith Chiyozuru Korehide (born Kato Hiroshi)

1874 – 1957. His incredible pieces are very rare and command very high prices.

His apprentices included master blacksmiths (shokunin) Chiyozuru Sadahide and Chiyozuru Nobukuni.

A must have for collectors or those that just appreciate incredible Japanese woodworking tools! Cover shows minor wear, but otherwise in very nice condition.

Thanks for your interest.
