Résumé : We introduce and describe four different kinds of carpenters (daiku), especially through the wood species they use. The temple and shrine carpenter (miya-daiku) has to search his wood far away, the carpenter for refined teahouses and residences (sukiya-daiku) uses local wood, the joiner of doors, windows and screens (tateguya) also uses Japanese wood species for interior finishings, and the general carpenter’s choice of wood (daiku) is shown through three examples.
