 ===== Purpose =====
-The wiki is intended to assist in preserving and sharing knowledge of Japanese Woodworking and open the craft to the widest possible audience. Learning Japanese Woodworking is challenging to enter for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that information is often passed from experienced practitioners to those interested in person. This limits the number of people who can get involved, and means new learners often have a steeper learning curve than necessary.

Learning Japanese Woodworking is challenging for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that information is often passed in person from experienced practitioners to new learners. This limits the number of people who can get involved, and means new learners often have a steeper learning curve than necessary. The hope is that a wiki can help share information faster, letting individuals get from casual interest to connecting with the [[community]] faster.
