Opened in 1984 in Kobe, Japan, the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum is a corporate museum dedicated to preserving Japanese woodworking heritage. Designed and constructed by the Takenaka Corporation in collaboration with skilled woodworkers, the museum houses more than 30,500 pieces of tools and related materials. Beyond static display, it serves as an active research and educational hub, offering exhibitions, lectures, seminars, workshops, and off-site classes that explore not only the tools themselves but also the craftspeople who use them and the broader culture of wood that surrounds Japanese architecture and construction traditions.
