Marking gauge (Suji-keshiki) About $17
Uses a blade for marking lines parallel to an edge. Really nice to have. Pictured here is actually a slitting gauge (Wari-keshiki), but it is basically the same, only larger.

Awesome guide, thanks for posting. I would love to get into joinery. Need to accrue a few things first…
I was fortunate to take a Basic Woodworking course with Toshio Odate in NYC at Pratt one year. He embodied the Japanese approach to craft and I have often thought of him when I create and build my works. I am glad to see your collection of books contains several of his works and they continue to be used by current craftsmen today.
