The Tub Boats of Sado Island
A Japanese Craftsman's Methods.
This book, written in English and Japanese, describes the unusual bathtub-shaped fishing boats used on Sado Island and the rapidly dwindling craft of making them. Detailed construction drawings and excellent descriptions of the methods and tools used to work the bamboo and wood allow the reader to learn this boat-making art so strikingly similar to coopering.
By Douglas Brooks; 176 pages, 84 photos, softcover, 150 x 210 mm, in English/Japanese.
