This time, I've summarized the essential basic adjustments needed when handling Japanese hand planes.
The guide includes creating a plane block for high-precision finishing (thin shaving), adjusting the chip breaker of double-blade planes, and the principles of single-blade planes. It also covers preparation at the time of purchase and the benefits of using an oil stone in detail.

Adjusting Japanese planes, a traditional craftsmanship, is profoundly deep. However, the best place to start is by trying it out for yourself.
