Osaka Otemon - the impossible joint

Hi, i was reading into the art of Japanese Woodworking and found this one and it immediately intrigued me. As the story goes, this wood joint was found at the foot of one of the Otemon Gate, guarding the Osaka Castle. It was referred to as ‘the impossible joint’. It wasn't until they x-rayed it, that they found out how it was assembled. Enjoy this piece of ancient engineering, craftsmanship and a bit of illusion.Boost MeIf you like models like this, please give it a boost.
