Many of the machine elements are made of wood in the Pre-modern Ages in Japan, which makes material processing including wood cutting work technologically important. Wood cutting work, usually provided in a divisional system, differs from metal cutting work, mainly provided by smiths, and manufacturing in a composite system can also be provided including material processing of some composites made of both metal and wood, or material processing with machinery. The aim of this series of papers is to study how material processing and manufacturing was provided in the Pre-modern Ages in Japan.
