This whole project has made me very happy. I want to see lots of other good kominka be relocated to better spots, and treated with the care they've earned. And it's such a waste of good timber to not reuse what you can, regardless.
So amazing how such a beautiful old house can be dismantled and built again after so long. What modern western buildings could ever hope to get close to this.
I was born in Saitama Kenritsu in 1958. I have pictures of our house of a similar style. Though much smaller. My mother loved that place. We came to America in 1962.
Beautiful house and great project! Love that a hundred years old house will be dismantled, relocated and rebuild. 100% natural materials and nearly zero waste - can't get any better! Thanks for sharing Dylan. 😍
Wow, wonderful project to take part in, uncovering secrets of how joints were made years ago. Great responsibility to take care with such an artifact that it isn't damaged or destroyed. I know many Japanese buildings are designed to be dismantled for repair, I doubt they considered long distance relocation! I look forward to seeing this progress. You have my very best wishes for success & learning
Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to seeing more of the diligent work that goes into preserving such a beautiful home. Have a Happy New Year 🎊🎆!
It's impressive all the efforts and hard work employed in the construction of this house as well as all the work put to take it down carefully to reyse all possible parts, to relocate it. Then build it again, for future generations. Just impressive! Thank you for caring for the planet we live in! May God bless you all involved in such careful work! What was announced by the speaker? Everything gets to be reused, even the bamboo for the walls?
Wow, what an amazing structure! Those beams are so cool, love how organic they look, I bet they are really heavy too! Awesome video Dylan, I love seeing all of this, looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing!
This is so awesome. You said somewhere in the beginning of the video that there will be a space in the new location where people from around the world can come and learn Japanese joinery. Please do share details of that when that does happen. I would love to learn from a place with such a rich history! (And I'll probably need to save money for quite some time to be able to make it there. But I'm sure it will be worth it)
May sound kind of strange but as i watch the tear out and all the dust i can smell it sitting here. I guess i have done so much of that it has just affected me and my sense of smell mentally . .
Hi Dylan , wonderful building and such a privilege for us to follow your journey with it , thankyou for sharing , I’m a carpenter and would have loved to work on something like this , although I do get to work on old timber buildings in the UK
Thank you so much for documenting the work! I am also following the progress on instagram, its really interesting to see and also fascinating, the building is really beautiful!! I would love to help with such a project (古民家再生) in the future, I hope the corona situation will allow for that in the future.. Cheers!
Most impressive! You even saved the daub from the walls! I can see the regular first and second story frame being pre-cut in a shop, but the irregular roof frame with its intricate joinery seems impossible to fabricate offsite. Did the carpenters use some sort of grid to locate the joinery, rather than fitting the beams up in the air? Maybe the lower structure was assembled and a temporary roof was raised and used as a reference (and shelter) to finish the roof beams? Beautiful work and much credit to those responsible for saving it! Thanks for the great video!
Funny how people relocate houses in Japan, that really shows they have a pride in their houses, plus it’s a lot easier to deconstruct and reconstruct something when it’s not held together with nails, the pieces can simply be taken apart and put back together again, this is clearly the superior building method.
10:00 what is the announcement saying? It's so surreal hearing the voice coming over the speakers like that through the leaves, it's like something out of a future dystopia movie
I liked the video, great job! But this isn't the first time I see Japanese house being disassembled and relocated. So I am interested, what is the reason for this? Is the owner selling just the house? Is he mowing to another town? Isn't it just faster and better to build a new house from fresh materials which would last 100 years more, considering that these materials are not everlasting? I'm just curious
this type of traditional building is a cultural icon. land might be marked for redevelopment, or the owner wishes to sell, and an old building will be relocated rather than destroyed. moving old structures is fairly common in most countries that have an interest in preserving their cultural heritage. if looked after, the materials will last many lifetimes. a new structure lacks the history and character of an old one, even if it's a faithful reproduction.
90% of US "house builders" would have thrown all the earth walls in a dumpsters, replaced the beams with pressure treated Home Depot specials, and thrown up some melamine.
That's some dirty work, been there done that. Reclamation is an art form, the work is always dictated by caution towards the material. It's not a true reclamation if you don't use every piece.

Happy to hear that! 😊
Yes, it's great working on a house built with natural materials, with many parts being able to be reused.
Thank you for saving a beautiful building. The carpentry and style is amazing!
Yes, I can't wait to see it rebuilt back to it's former glory
Great video Dylan! Looks like you're having lots of fun and learning loads! Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks Dorian! 😊
Happy new year! 🎊
I'm not a Japanese fanatic but I'm a mechanism fanatic, I'm very interested in this kind of wooden joint. great video
I’ve read about buildings in Japan being disassembled and reassembled. I’m really excited to see actual video of the process.
Dylan, thank you for the new video. Amazing!
It really is quite an undertaking.
After 100 years, even the bamboo wall strips looked in great shape!
Thank you 😊
Yes, the bamboo was surprisingly still very solid after all those years!

Thank you 😊
There's alot to see and learn from the work made by the carpenters of the past and I hope to share as much as possible with you too!
thats one big-ass complicated puzzle!
Indeed, excited to take it apart!
beautiful building and a very worthwhile project.
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your work.
Nice project. 👍🏾😎
Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to seeing more of the diligent work that goes into preserving such a beautiful home. Have a Happy New Year 🎊🎆!
Thank you Mark 😊
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Hopefully they will have a video of it being reconstructed.
Can't wait for part two!!
Cheers! 😊🙌
Wow. What a great project to disassemble and document all of this.
Cheers! 😊🙌

What was announced by the speaker?

Holy shit... Imagine disassembling a large house one piece of wood at a time, and then putting it all back together again. That's insane!
Happy early new year! Looking forward to this journey with you!
Happy early new years to you too! 🙌
Wow, what an amazing structure! Those beams are so cool, love how organic they look, I bet they are really heavy too! Awesome video Dylan, I love seeing all of this, looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark!
Happy to hear that!
I'm really looking forward to taking those beams apart. I'm sure it'll be heavy!
Happy new year! 🎊

Yes, I will definitely be sharing the details once it becomes closer to finishing and opening up to the public. Cheers!
Awesome clip, thank you for sharing....
Cheers! 😊🙌
I want my own homestead made Japanese style with cob!
May sound kind of strange but as i watch the tear out and all the dust i can smell it sitting here. I guess i have done so much of that it has just affected me and my sense of smell mentally .

Amazing work.

Happy to hear that 😊
There's a lot to learn working with old timber buildings! 👍
It might look simple but when you look deeply at it.. there's a lots of details going on . the older generation made things stronger
amazing beams, amazing joinery, amazing structure!
Indeed! Can't wait to bring it back to life! 😊🙌
ganbatte!!!
Il b here too.
Happy new year

pretty much surprised about the wall actually made of soils on top of bamboo weaves
worldwide traditional building technique. european style is called wattle & daub.

Wow! amazing! How much would it cost to dissembled, move it to another prefecture and assemble again? 🤔
Thanks!
I would of loved to help on this project

fairly common in eastern europe too.
Yeesh what a complicated process. I’d just build a new building with the same style and jointing process.
立派なおうちですね。仮筋交い以外に斜めの部材が見当たりませんが、横方向の力に対しては土の壁で持たせる作りなのでしょうか？不思議です。
Was this a timber frame structure? I ask cause I don't see any bracing. Thank you
Has the load bearing capacities of these joints ever been scientifically tested? They gotta be higher than using nails, no?

When was this house originally constructed
The description says it is 92 years old.
雨樋は、どうされますか？
90% of US "house builders" would have thrown all the earth walls in a dumpsters, replaced the beams with pressure treated Home Depot specials, and thrown up some melamine.
Why move the building?
Y'a pas de goulotte ni de benne au Japon ? Parce que remplir des tas de petits sacs, c'est joli mais pas très efficace.
Would not be easier to just go to Ikea
That's some dirty work, been there done that. Reclamation is an art form, the work is always dictated by caution towards the material. It's not a true reclamation if you don't use every piece.
