The "miyadaiku" are skilled carpenters involved in the construction and restoration of shrines and temples. Their work encompasses world heritage sites, national treasures, and culturally significant buildings, requiring a broad range of knowledge in fields such as architecture, religious studies, and history, as well as advanced technical expertise. We follow the late Nishioka Tsunekazu, a master carpenter who undertook the reconstruction of three iconic Buddhist temple buildings in Nara Prefecture: the three-storied pagoda of Horinji Temple, Yakushiji Kondo, and Saito.
