Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures, processes, and assembles wooden fittings such as doors, window frames, shoji screens, and fusuma sliding doors.
Description
Wooden fittings manufacturers are specialists who produce wooden fittings (such as doors, window frames, shoji screens, and fusuma) used in homes and buildings. They read blueprints or CAD drawings, select and cut timber, perform processing (using planes, routers, jigsaws, etc.), and handle finishing tasks like gluing, hardware installation, polishing, and painting. The job requires skills to achieve both precise dimensions and aesthetic appeal. In addition to team work in factories or workshops, they may also engage in custom-made production as self-employed workers.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the diversification of housing and the increase in remodeling needs. On the other hand, with advances in machine processing and mass production, advanced processing skills and design capabilities will become competitive advantages.
