Japanese carpenters carry a high reverence for their tools and we are no different when it comes to our tools. This is a showcase of some of the tools, mostly Japanese, that are used here at Mokko. Tools carry the spirit of the craftsman and the finished product is an embodiment of the spirit of the tools. I hope this page serves as an introduction to the wonderful world of Japanese carpentry tools.
