### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Quirky, but thorough.
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2013*

136 pages, not including the glossary. The first 16 pages are a history of Japanese fencing, and the terms used for each type of fence. The next 32 pages are color photos of the various fences in real world scenarios. Some are incredibly impressive! Then 6 pages of knots, terms, and the basics of working with bamboo. Then 11 types of fence, with diagrams. Naturally, the Japanese language includes about a bazillion variations of bamboo fence, and the terms used to describe them. We'll get to that in a moment. Each section is laid out with the first page showing a drawing of the fence type, a brief description, and then 4-10 pages of building diagrams, which sometimes include b&w photos. Some are simple, and some are VERY intricate. They're almost all beautiful. The fact that it includes so many diagrams is a nice touch for us Westerners, and the one thing that makes the book useful to the guy or gal who wants to actually BUILD a fence, instead of learning about them. However... When reading through the diagrams, the author (who is Japanese) constantly uses the Japanese name of the various parts of the fence, which sometimes frustrates me, since I have to go back to the front of the book and look it up. Yes, there's a diagram, but I still like to know exactly what's going on, to eliminate any errors. It's certainly not the authors fault that he uses correct terminology- it's my fault for being American enough to find it annoying to have to constantly backtrack- not only to the preliminary pages describing the terms, but to the 6 pages of knot descriptions. Some of the knots are crazy, and even with repetition, I sometimes ask myself if I'm doing them right. It's probably something that most people won't mind, but I get impatient with projects, and want them done. Weird for a guy building Japanese bamboo fences, huh? Anyway, it's a VERY thorough book, and certainly worthy of your consideration if you have any interest in constructing one of the 11 beautiful types of fences here. Bear in mind, too, that the author says that the lifespan of bamboo is around 5 years. That may deter someone from undertaking the task of constructing one, but it's actually pretty fun, and the beauty of the process, not to mention the finished fence, has been known to have a calming effect. Even on an impatient American.

    A fantastic resource
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2013*

This book is a wonderful and unique resource. Bamboo has invaded many suburban gardens and this book shows a way to put the pesky bamboo to use in a beautiful and inexpensive way. Many different Japanese bamboo fence styles were shown in colorful photographs, providing visual detail that is hard to convey in words or with diagrams, and also showed the fences in various settings to provide ideas of where you might want to build a Japanese style bamboo fence. In addition, detailed instructions and diagrams for building several different styles of traditional fences were a valuable guide.  I used this book together with The Craft and Art of Bamboo, revised and updated, 30 eco friendly projects and was able to get a good understanding of basic techniques. I built a trellis, while far from perfect, it is a start.
