TOMOHIRO YOSHIDA
I learned how to splice wood and build SABANI in accordance with traditional techniques from Mr. Yasuhiro Arashiro of Shiraho, Japan.
As well as this traditional craftsmanship, Arashiro-san also taught me the importance and thinking independently and finding the wisdom within my own thoughts
We use fundou (X-shaped woodworking joints) and kasugai (bamboo nails) to splice wood without using iron nails.
Our boats can withstand rough ocean swells and the performance of our SABANI on the water is very high.
Though the number of SABANI craftsmen has decreased in recent years, we are trying to preserve the traditional techniques and knowledge of SABANI to pass down to future generations and keep this tradition alive.
