This paper is an analytical study on the change of processes in wooden structural techniques during in modern Japan. This change in processes was evaluated through the analysis of architectural technical books. The technical books used were those involved with the development of publishing systems and architectural trade education systems published in the late 19th century. These books explain practical applications of both Japanese traditional and imported wooden structural techniques. Through the analysis of these books, we understood the following. One is how the technical issues involved with wooden housing construction changed. The other is how those various technical issues were handled at the time.
