Japanese Marking Tools
Japanese marking tools are designed for precise layout and accurate joinery, forming the foundation of traditional Japanese woodworking. These tools are used to mark cut lines, reference points, and measurements directly on the workpiece, ensuring accuracy before any cutting or shaping begins.
This category features traditional Japanese marking tools commonly used by carpenters and fine woodworkers, including marking knives, ink line tools, marking gauges, and layout accessories. Many of these tools are crafted for clarity, control, and repeatable accuracy, reflecting the emphasis on precision found in Japanese woodworking practices.
Whether used in fine joinery, furniture making, or general woodworking, Japanese marking tools help establish clean, accurate layouts and support a more deliberate, craftsmanship-focused approach to working with wood.
