How do you restore a centuries-old stone wall without losing its history? In this first episode of our series on Japanese stone wall restoration, we delve into the introduction and survey phases at castles and temples across Japan.
Skilled stonemasons rely on their eyes and ears—listening to the sound of each strike and observing tiny cracks—to judge the condition of the stones. Every detail is carefully recorded in the stone ledger, ensuring that each stone can be returned to its original place after restoration.
In Part 1: Survey & Introduction, you’ll see:
• 🏯 How ancient castle and temple walls are assessed before repair.
• 👂 The unique methods stonemasons use to “read” a stone by sight and sound.
• 📜 How survey data is recorded in a stone ledger for precise reconstruction.
• 🌏 Why these techniques protect Japan’s cultural heritage from earthquakes and time.
This is a rare look into the meticulous work behind preserving Japan’s iconic stone walls.
👉 Don’t miss Part 2, where the dismantling and rebuilding process is revealed.
