- Hello everyone,
A few months ago, many viewers emailed me to express their interest in the traditional Japanese carpentry, to show the most amazing view of traditional technology and its importance to the present life. I decided to make a video about: "The Different Types of Japanese Carpenters"
#woodworking #japanesewoodworking #WoodworkingEnthusiasts
To understand it correctly of carpenters in Japan, I had the interviews with a few master craftsmen, at the same with my knowledge and done a search on google, I started writing the script about it, rewrote the content, two voices were recorded, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as my statement: "This video belongs to me"
This time our main characters are: Hiroshi from Tottori Prefecture, Matsubayashi Keisuke from Nagano Prefecture

I'm going to take you all back a long ways. I'm almost 74 now, but back when I was a young man coming back from Vietnam I was assigned to the Marine Air Station at Iwakuni, Japan. I stayed a year. So right outside the gate there was a crew of house framers starting to put up a new house. I was immediately attracted by the fact that there wasn't a nail used anywhere in the job. It was all joinery. No power tools either. These guys wore a belt with a beautiful set of chisels and hand saws, and they made every cut right there on sight. What an education! I had a habit back in those days of making toy boxes for my young Marines starting families. During my year at Iwakuni, with the help of the Japanese carpenters working in our wood hobby shop on base, the quality of my toy boxes got a lot better. Some are still in the next generation of families. So watch this video and accept the fact that these guys have been doing this for hundreds of years. I'll match them against any carpenter in the world!
That’s really cool 😌😌😌
Welcome home my brother in arms! God is good! Thank you for your service to our nation. It is an honor to call you brother. I would love to hear your stories of service and just about your life in general. As I believe it would be tremendous joy to other service members and people all over the world. Love you brother. We are the Sheepdogs!
Thanks for sharing that story. It must have been a real eye-opener experiencing a very different culture. ☮️
mikemather5 Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience. You were extremely lucky to have had an interest in wood at the time, which drove you closer to those fabulous carpenters. You lived through a unique experience that not many people ever are able to. You've made good use of it. I would agree that these craftsmen are unique in the world. Japan's reputation for having some of the oldest wooden structures in the world is thanks to these Masters. I hope you have kept up the good work, and are still enjoying it. God bless.
There was a person who made a billiard table by hand

I've been a carpenter for 28 years and I've notched my share of wood. The carpenters in the video are masters at wood work. I have nothing but respect for all of them and I say to them great job and please always pass it on to keep it going for as long as possible...
I agree I’m a carpenter for 13 years these are inspirational craftsmen for sure 👍🏻
@@uknow7236 Lucky you. My dad was, and he hated being one, wich rubbed off on me. A minute ago I think I understood, where the real problem was - the narcissist garbage hated everything, where he wasn't a hero - meaning everything in the world.. As if "anyone" sane can hate, working with clean non poisonous natural materials, and doing real high class craftings.
thats the real master of carpenters every joint must connect and percision without any mistake, amazing skills
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
no, it's softwood
One of the many things I like about Japanese culture, is that in a world full of cutting edge technology and progression, the artisan crafts still have a very important place and are widely revered. The Japanese have a definite appreciation for hand crafted goods which we seem to have lost in the west.
Its also still really traditional in that you have to apprentice under someone and wont be considered competent to even be left alone until youve been an apprentice for at least 10 years
It's actually a real shame that this is the case
wow, this is Kongogumi, the oldest surviving company/business in the world. They have been in business for 1400 years.
I’ve always had a ton of respect for Japanese craftsmen. Not just woodworkers. Definitely true masters of their craft. Nice video.
Even on porn they are also masters..

I absolutely agree with you.
I've been working with wood for a long time, but, this level of skill is something to aspire to.
As a Chinese, I am very appreciate this work. Japanese truly are talented students
Thank you!
It was real pleasure to see how they work with wood. This is real state of art
I am speechless, if i could spend the rest of my life watching a crafts man do these things i would be in my glory.
I couldn't have said it better 👍.
Wonderful words brother! God is Good!
Japanese people are perfectionist.. As a results, their creations are incredible.. clever, awesome. 👍👍👍☝
I liked the part where they used a compass to draw the reference line for the connecting margin of the mortise
These guys are incredibly talented. I give so much respect to any who could work like this. The craftsmanship is out of this world. So much patients.
As a furniture maker, I've had some exchanges with woodworkers trained in sashimono. Even though it's not my area of expertise, I have found myself incorporating more and more of their no glue/no screws techniques. It makes the construction last longer, as it allows the wood to expand and contract with differences in moisture content.
Bingo!
@8:49 my favorite part so perfect the air pushes out the other drawers...this is supreme excellence.
I recently lost my uncle who was a carpenter for nearly 50 years. My god i wsh he had gotten the chance to visit Japan. So incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much. Domo arigato from 🇨🇦 😢😊 (edit fixed typo)
Sorry to hear that
Some of the most beautiful craftsmanship I have seen. Absolutely amazing. A beautiful and highly respectable people. The Japanese are a great people no doubt.
This is more than just plain old craftsmanship. This is art.
Thanks!
I have spent all of my seventy two years in and around an old timber framed barn on our family’s farm.There are still scribe marks for the various joint cuts. I have always been amazed at how true craftsmen can walk to the woods to select the materials for a project that will out live his children and possibly his grandchildren.
This video shows true intense concentration and dedication to a purpose. Congratulations to all of the people who are still willing to work hard at improving the world.
Very amazing and very beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video.
I have always admired Japanese culture and noticed the structures that are built are more than just the building... They are a work of brilliance and in the art world each a masterpiece... A temple reflecting both craftsmanship and wonder using both carpentry skills and knowledge of sculpting abilities...
Be blessed !
Not only craftsmen but real artists !

11 minutes of total therapeutic relaxation, thanks...
Beautiful workmanship on all! Thank you.
My father returning from WW2. serving in Asia brought home a hand carved cigarette dispenser. He said the gentleman that made it snatched up the crating material that American forces were discarding were like gold to him. Yeah the dispenser was small and somewhat insignificant to the undiscerning eye but was a master piece of cabinet making on a tiny scale. Being somewhat of a carpenter myself, now I could watch this endlessly. Some of the joinery is mindblowing in complexity. We can all agree these people are artisans of the highest order. What I would give to actually live and work in a shop like any of these.
8:50, holy shit, when its so much precision that the air behind pushes out the other boxes xO
I guess they need to make pressure relief holes at the back once finished...
@@TheChzoronzon i never thought about that. imagine being so incredibly good at your job that you have to make allowances for your own perfection!
The box that pranks the carpenter lol
Japanese carpentry is the best there is in the whole world. I have deep respect for their craftsmanship. The patience they gave to every little detail is absolutely amazing.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing your talents.
They are the best chippies in the world....awesome. Just amazing skills and dedication, thank you for the pleasure to see these master craftsman at work.
This woodworking book is absolutely comprehensive, *www.WoodPlanner. xyz*
It breaks every little thing down, using words, drawings, real photos, and different diagrams.
Perfect, and very good.
I think the best part of woodworking is joinery making and fitting. It's very gratifying looking at your joint all set and almost perfect! Haha
Ultimate wood work ....really amazing
I think their work makes them happy and bring satisfaction. It'll surely be the case for me. Thank you
How life should be. Craftsman, craftswomen, and artists peacefully making the world a beautiful place.
Watched it again! Still awesome, thank you.
Japanese are very smart people. God bless them. The world always needs their expertise.
Such craftsmanship and beauty.
Nada más bello en las maderas que las uniones sin clavos, pernos o fierros, felicitaciones, maravillosos trabajos
Patience, dedication, perfection.
Here is my appreciation for everything I see in terms of "hand made" coming from Japan, I can only use one word: perfection, congratulations !!, Brasil !
Just awesome to watch!!
So wonderful to see how passionate and professional yet easy looking ( because passionated and professional ) they can build such beautiful things without any additional materials. Huge respect to such a high level craftmanship! Satisfying to watch! :-)
All this without a single nail..woww!!

Impresionante da gusto ver lo que hacen !!!! espectacular no tengo palabras para describir el gusto que me da ve estos trabajos son lo más gracias por compartirlo éxitos !!!!!
when they show up wearing ninja boots, you know they mean business. That hidden dove-tail corner joint by the furniture maker (6:18) is awesome.
@Peter Talbot Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: WoodSun. xyz
It's a finger joint, not a dovetail.
you can purchase "ninja boots" at carpenters shop and some athletes says it's suited for running. try once:)

@@RyanMartinRAM You can clearly see at 5:45 that it's blind dovetails.
spent several week in and around Kyoto which was wonderful.one day while walking I spied a NAIL, an iron nail used in a temporary safety railing on a construction project...it stuck out like a sore thumb.,
Awesome Craftsmanship Guys!
Realmente un trabajo maravilloso, siempre he admirado el perfeccionismo Japonés
Speechless

Brilliant hand made work
"No nails were harmed in the making of this video."
eewoo Nice one! thumbs up.
Incredible work
That is beautiful, thanks for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts I am an apprentice carpenter/joiner/woodworker ( i don't really know what word To use in english) and everytime i see that kind of perfectionist work, those chisel slide on wood like butter, i can't stop this smile on my face and this envy of starting a new project.. I keep falling in love with this craft.
They have some beautiful wood to work with - no particle boards in sight.
Phenomenally honed craftsmanship
Gracias !!!
Very very nice. Thanks
Super job
Nice video!
Thats so beautiful!
Simply wonderfull ...
I'm a carpenter in the US I would love to spend just 6 months with these people and learn as much as I can.
thank you for taking the time to comment so well! I appreciate that
Magnificent work by these Japanese "Craftsmen", they have been honing these skills for
centuries, I imagine an unbelievable amount of "trail & error" went into the absolute end
result of perfecting the 'carpentry techniques' and also the building/joinery techniques.
I would say these guys are definitely PART OF A GUILD, where they have passed down the
considerable knowledge from one generation to the next, carefully selecting trustworthy
members of their guild, that will be loyal to their guild, that will keep the excruciatingly
extracted knowledge within their group, those guild members FIRST LOYALTY is always
to the GUILD & MEMBERS OF THE GUILD. That's how those guilds work, it's precisely
the same CULTURE in the guilds of France and Spain, where they ceremoniously build
their much loved buildings, Cathedrals, Museums & other "temples of culture".
In the very sophisticated culture of Japan, they know very well that culture must be
nurtured, culture must be invested in, invested into, it must be fed to survive & it must
be protected to remain part of the culture. If for example the famed Japanese Guilds
allowed a group of foreign mercenaries into their Guild, it would be only a small time
frame before those mercenaries are passing all that accumulated knowledge back to
the boondocks they came from, passing all those techniques back to the people they
really care about, passing all the contacts that they have back to their OWN GUILD,
which probably isn't called a guild, but can easily be defined as their very OWN CLIQUE,
the people they have loyalty to, they also together with passing on contacts, they pass
on the contracts that come with contacts, almost poetically stuck together like the
nail-less Japanese carpentry. The END RESULT is the destruction of that Guild, as it
has not been nurtured, it has not been protected, it has not been invested into, it was
in fact leaked away into oblivion, all that knowledge, all those techniques that took
forever to foster, are flung away into the abyss, thrown to the wolves, and the final
result is that their hundreds of years of culture is absorbed by a systemic hex.
When the people of these ancient Guilds select a person to carry on the precise and
important work, they should be those people that are always dedicated to the culture
of the Guild, the secrets of the Guild should be protected at all costs, and the very first
loyalty of that person should always be to that Guild, and definitely not to some other
source that has absolutely nothing in common with the Guild, whereas the foreign
"infiltrator" ( notice the near perfection that infiltrator & traitor fit together seamlessly)
these inserted and installed infiltrators are there specifically to GLEAN KNOWLEDGE
from the Guild, and then pass on that knowledge their brethren back in the boondocks
wherever they come from, these infiltraitor's are there to TRESPASS ALL OVER YOUR
CULTURE & they're there to PASS ON THAT KNOWLEDGE BACK THEIR THEIR CLIQUE.
*Noted: In fact the "End Result" is often a very sad outcome where some members of
the installed/inserted infiltraitors work unceremoniously to DESTROY THE GUILD, and
with the ultimately gleaned knowledge, techniques, contacts, contracts, and their
own boondock goons ready to loony-tune, THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE GUILD.
SUCH IS THE PRACTICE OF FOREIGN CONQUEST, USUALLY INVOLVING THE ULTIMATE
DESTRUCTION OF THEIR OWN ENEMIES CULTURE, AS THEY KNOW WITH INVESTED
INTEREST, THAT CULTURE IS THE BACKBONE OF ANY PEOPLE, AND WHEN YOU TAKE
AWAY THAT CULTURE, YOU HAVE GREATLY DIMINISHED THAT PEOPLES SPINE.
WOW, Thank you very much for taking the time to comment so Well
Excelentes resultados, buen trabajo, felicitaciones a todos los artesanos de este gran vídeo. Saludos desde Barranquilla Colombia
日本の建築技術の紹介ありがとうございます。
Truly amazing 😊
*****ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT *****
The thing to remember, is that these guys are specialists catering to a few rich people and some traditional needs. The overwhelming majority of woodworking in Japan is done exactly like it is in every other country, with power tools and fast production methods. Few people have the time or money for this stuff, no matter how beautiful it is.
My father has a very old farmhouse near Tokyo, and he hired a few of those Miya-Daikus to renovate it. My father is not that rich or anything. So I think it is an overstatement that these age-old techniques have little to do with regular folks.
I so want to learn from them.
Hi, I'm Japanese. One American has been invited by Japanese TV show before and visited Japan to learn about carpentry skill.
th-cam.com/video/6T6a4x-J_Ks/w-d-xo.html
(It was broadcast in Japanese to be sure, but I guess you can understand)
Sign me up. Send me over. I was in Japan in the Military. Loved everything that you do there.
@@randyerickson2154 You were in Japan for military reasons too?
Wow i too the Last three years sadly this is my Last year here in Japan
Wow, that some amazing precision carpentry, u need fully equipped workshop & specialized tools for this kind of art
Incredible job
It's a master piece.
WOW, just WOW!
These people are doing masterpieces.
Grabe Naman ang galing... Pasensya talaga ang puhunan dun Kasi antagal nun gawin eh.. kakabilib Naman tong mga hapon eh
I always thought, Japanese carpentry would be the best in the world. But recently I got two old books from the late 18 hundreds. One about german timber framing and one about European furniture making. I got to say, the complexity of the joinery is about the same as the Japanese joinery, but the construction in general is way more thought out and difficult.
what are the books your are referring to?
@@judeseo4698 "Der praktische Tischler" by Christian Hermann Walde and "Das Holzbau Buch" by Adolf Opderbecke. "Der Möbelbau" by Fritz Spannagel is even better, but not as old as the other two.
Most people don't realize European woodworking is much more specialized and even more complex than Japanese joinery, but there's been a deliberate push for decades to erase and destroy all European history and culture. Eastern mysticism has been pushed very heavily while European traditions have been shunned.
@@davidkatz8270 Do you think capitalism had anything to do with that? It seems like there has been a big push towards cheap plastic, mass produced items sold in huge monopolistic box stores, for a long time now. The whole country is covered in parking lots and strip malls. The option to have fast food delivered to your house 24/7, seems more destructive to western culture than the introduction of Eastern Philosophy.
Loved every minutes even though some clips are already familiar. Kind regards.
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your hearted reply. Kind regards.
everyone knows most of these skills were invented by ancient chinese carpenters，but japan just sounds better since hollywood chooses it to represent oriental cultures these days, so let it be, it's better for marketing. as for china, they surely have no tradition n taste, they steals tech from other countries, no doubt.
