A Japanese plane has a very efficient design. It needs only four parts to work, far less than a Stanley No. 4 plane. A Japanese plane is also very easy to hold and operate, but a variety of methods have been used to improve the grip. One model adds rounded grooves into the sides for the fingers to rest. Another wraps the top handle in fabric. Planes can be found with user modifications, such as a handle on the side. While most Japanese planes are rectangular, at least one is shaped like a western coffin smoother.

Key Takeaways:

  • A Japanese plane is easy to hold and operate, but some models try to improve the grip.
  • One plane model has rounded grooves in the sides for the fingers to rest.
  • While most Japanese planes are rectangular, at least one model is more like a western coffin smoother.

“In some ways, the Japanese plane is a model of minimalism and efficiency.”
