I heard there was a "dai" workshop at the Shizutani school this past summer. Anyone attend?
looks like no.
My understanding is that the owner of Hida Tools in Oregon is a big Japanese carpentry fan, and brings over master and journeyman carpenters now and then for a "dai." They had a planing contest last time, and built a big Shinto arch, I think.
Meant to include a link to the Hida website. They post woodworking/carpentry events and photos of past ones. You might enjoy it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hida Woodworking and Carpentry
