http://articles.directorygold.com/japanese.php?u=Article/More-Equipment-for-Wood-Carving/31751 was probably a _Google_Translation_ of an English article.

木彫師 1,150 木彫り師 236 There are a few sites that suggest 木彫師 is read as もくちょうし but they all seem to be sourced on Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy computer games so probably not too reliable. DQ / FF hits are also responsible for bumping up the web hits for 木彫師 to some extent. |
