Without a single nail or screw, miyadaiku (Japanese carpenter) join wood directly to wood — a method of joinery know as kanawatsugi (金輪継) — and in doing so, build some of the world’s longest-lasting wooden structures, just as they’ve done for centuries upon centuries.

The ceiling of the gazebo at Anderson Japanese Gardens illustrates the true craftsmanship of the Japanese carpenter.
