If the patches were rhythm

A fictive workshop facade in a Roji. Three plywood strips screwed across the cedar boards at calf, hip and chest height, four screws each, the heads showing.

This is what the patch language looks like if you treat it as a facade material instead of a one-time fix. The real workshops in Daita, Koenji and Asakusa-West don’t do this. They patch one strip per door, only what breaks.
