joints & brand

5 – WOOD DOWELS (DABO)
The 42mm thick hinoki slabs are joined in such a way (T-joint) that the more permeable head of the plank is completely protected. The “dabo” is a good choice for a softer, natural look.
 
6 – COPPER PLATES
Technique typical of the Tokyo (Edo) area. Each plate covers a long stainless steel screw which solidly connects the front with the side planks.
 
7 – COPPER DETAIL
We cover the joints with a copper plate “kugikakushi”, the original technique developed from the ship construction. The copper turns green aftertime.
 
8 – IRON BRAND
We apply a hot-iron seal with our brand logo. Usually we propose to place it on the long side, towards the top right corner.
