Yatoizane Hagi
There are various ways of joining floorboards, but that of Suikoushya is joined by a method called “Yatoizane hagi”. This method requires more time and effort, but the joining area is larger, so the joining force is greater.
1: Cut a groove in the common position of the boards to be joined.
2: Make a [Sane] to match the groove.
3: Join the boards by placing the sane between them.
