>It's a wonderful book, you could almost build a Japanese house following the directions. And he details the construction of an elegent guest house. I found it at Hida during Kezuou-kai this past October, even got a signed copy.

Michael Morningstar, who works for East Wind, is resident at Hiraide; and there's now a link from Hiraide to EW, which is a bit curious. Mike, Chris Hall and the book have been most helpful in finalizing the design for my timber framed workshop.
