Japanese crafts Military History Pictorials and literary portraits of oneA brief insight into the manufacturing processes of a couple of mostly Kyoto based craftsmen. A foreign craftsman is covered but Japanese skilfulness and process is the main concern. The book has lots of step by step images and aims to allow people to attempt some of these arts at home. Good luck with that shakuhachi. While only an overview, Lowe's book provides a lovely snap of some disappearing industries.
