How do they manage to carve wood so perfectly by hand?

Originally a metric fuck ton of practice. Japan had very little iron, they had to be inventive.

For an example of their craftsmanship have a look at Netsuke, the carving is incredibly detailed, these joints are straight forward in comparison although still impressive.
