- Hello Folks,
A few months ago, many viewers emailed me to express their interest in traditional Japanese carpentry, to show the most amazing view of traditional technology and its importance to present life. We decided to make a video about"Amazing The Art of Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery"
#japanesewoodworking #joinery #woodjoints
I edited the script, rewrote the content, new voices were recorded, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created.

I am taking inspiration from these japanese models for 3D prints requiring no screws or hardware, and minimal assembly. Super cool.
2:30 that turning mechanism is ingenious.
Most of these are not for carpenters or joiners in a hurry, but most appear very solid and some are downright beautiful too. Fascinating stuff.
Amazing!
Awesome instructional video✌👍and incredible craftsmanship.
Knowledge is not enough for this work, ton of patience and accuracy.
Your work is amazing. Can't imagine the patience it takes.
Fantastic, thanks!
A lot of people here arguing over the practicality of such joints but I personally think their all amazing & can only imagine the pleasure in building say a bespoke coffee table utilising some of these joints, win win all day long. Very interesting stuff and thank you for sharing!
yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I can see a lot of confusion on the necessity of these joints in a lot of mass.. i m no woodworker but.... here's the thing... the way Japanese buildings are made, necessarily require one vertical log for center column and then one horizontal log for each floor. .... to make tall buildings the needed these mammoth joints.... think about making a central vertical log of 5 storey high and 4sq ft cross section.... u cant use enough nails and screws to work it... it is needed that way so that in earthquakes entire building sways like a bamboo tree... and as another commenter already mentioned the different compression ratio of iron and wood... that's very important.... nevertheless, these mammoth joints were developed for mostly large pagodas, temples, royal houses...... regular people houses are built with much simpler joints... for those who are thinking that these are complicated because they are ancient.. i must say.... these were revolutionary for that time.. and if u want to make a house like those with only wood that will go on for a thousand years in a Japanese weather and earthquake environment.... u will have to use these..... ty all and no offence to anyone.... :)
Awesome ~
wow. Japanese really are crazy for craftsmanship and perfection
Thank you very much!
These are cool depictions and all, but the more important question is HOW to make the necessary cuts and do them SO damn precisely!
With PASSION ! As simple as that.
Practice
Very nice .thanks
Magnificent mind
If we can make the right printers and materials this could work. This guy used ages-old Japanese knowledge and modern technology (made in Japan as well) to create something that can change the way of building in the future. For woodwork this is impractical but for mass-production i can see it work in the right environment.
Never learned this in wood shop.
I should have paid more attention to my descriptive geometry class. Whoever came up with those was the Michelangelo of joinery construction. CNC and AutoCad are your friends.
Every connection will not fit every Use. But if you can use them do. Don't mind the work it is also a good challange for the Brain and craftsmanship.
Wood lives also as you have cut it it is still alive the Nail / screw connections are long eaten up by the wood , I can prove this over and over again. If you build a home you built for a long time ahead so what is your rush.
Today with modern tools they are also easier to make , so I don't understand the fight against it.
Enjoy the challange and the art , and you have a wounderfull long lasting product.
best regards

the mind boggles.....
The amount of time and work involved making some of these joints means we would never see this in the USA, where time = money. However, for hobby use (building sheds, tables, furniture, etc), it might be worth the time and effort. I have a future project of a Japanese inspired "mini home" shed. It will be a roughly 10ft x 20ft shed/workshop built entirely without the use of fasteners using a timber-framed style. Not sure when I will do this project, but it will get done at some point. I know it will take awhile.

I am not fan Of cutting wood, but this Ideas Is amazing
The Japanese are brillant!
at stealing!
Hammer. Nail. Done.
凄いな
for the sake of earthquake‐resistant construction...
How can such a wonderful video of wood joining has dislikes? I know why. Because it wasn't U.S.A inventions that's why... This is incredibly geniousl, Great job Japanese
Because of the shitty Computer-voice.
The horrible music loop and the robot voice
It's because of that stupid robotic voice. You have at least four people who had mentioned it just incase you didn't get it.
Good god my brain hurts just looking at those joints coming together never mind cutting them.
The wave of the future!
35oz 19g ... And the past!
Great vid but the music is haunting,what is it called
The video is marred by the computer voice over but it's forgiven given the subject matter.
I've always said that if I had the money, I'd get a bunch of furniture made in this fashion. Especially would want one of those Japanese slab tables.
These are not family secret if you look into Chinese woodworks and joineries. They are called 榫卯 in Chinese.
How do you know all the dimensions for 2:50?
i read somewhere once that the massive variety of japanese joint designs come from an honor system among woodworker families. they all wanted their own unique secret trademark and it was considered shameful to copy anothers special joint layout. so its basically an honor system trademark battle. kinda like how we have companies named random letters today, to avoid touching anythng that could be considered a copyright or trademark. you come up with your signature joint and only pass it down in your own family of tradesmen.
WOW, How Well Do You Know!
not ART , it is craft..
What join skill in 4:05
What was created & used 100s of year ago can NOW be duplicated with the rise of CNC milling a & 3D printing, hmm.....
It could always be done, but only now is it approaching cost-effective recreation
Rick Green You can get any CNC machine to duplicate all these. But it's the traditional way of Japanese that counts..
Fantastic work, but I must say that some of those dovetail type joints were overkill. For structural integrity a lot simpler joint would suffice, but I can see the "wow" factor from such a joint, it's just not practical to do in my opinion for 99% of wood workers
99% of woodworkers do not live on a island with cyclones.
Joseph Warner yeah and? Are you inferring that those dove tail joints are used in the building of Japanese homes? BTW I live on an island that has cyclones and we don't use such joints in buildings
... and earthquakes
Antipodean33 maybe overkill in compare to buildings where you are.. but look how long there buildings stand.
You're absolutely right. There's simpler joints that would be stronger than these. These joints are used for their appearance not there structural integrity.
2:05 "Now class listen up, this here is the "Teew Dik Joint"... xD
what is the title of the book?
The Art Of Japanese Joinery by Kiyosi Seike
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts do you have other reference book? thank you 💕
a hidden secret of the wounders of the world. // a pity is that from the outside, we cannot see the complexity of those joints. Are those joints made this way to withstand earthquakes?
yeah, it's possible because the overall system acts as a flexible structure that allows a certain degree of flexure and sways in response to lateral external forces. This is a very practical type of system in an earthquake-prone country such as Japan
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix website.
Impressive, but unnecessarily complicated, but then again it's japanese after All. Nothing is simple with those people
Ruined by the computer voice over
Philip Byrnes what if he's a smoker?
How about he's not speaking English?
Turn your sound off if you don't like it.
There's been annoying computer voices out there but this one isn't bad AND it's only 2 minutes of it.
It's only a joint!
nah... just use pocket screws.. LOL
steve noe Keep in mind this was before screws were used.

Reminiscent of rotating crop circles.
If you know anything about constuction and engineering youd know that the better developed a thing gets the simpler it becomes. In that view these Japanese wood joins are very primitive and that is not a suprise because some of them are thousands of years old. They did this because they where not smart enough to make skrews and other modern ways of fixing one thing to a different one. Im not trying to talk it bad, the craftsmanship required to make these joints is impressive and deserves respect. I cant talk for german traditional woodworking and i can tell you it does exactly the same in a splitpart of the time, there is no problem in wood joining the japanese could solve but the germans or other western nations couldt. So in the end, who is the better woodworking nation i ask you. Japanese joining in my opinion is over complicated and for some reason over romantizised.
It's artistry...something you know nothing of.
Nice way to put it when you are actually just to stupid and tightminded to invent something better. Go sniff your own farts while bragging how long a japanese master took to build your kitchen table. Oh and btw. i learned to make these joints, i even sold them as well as other wood products. People only buy that stuff to show to the world what they can afford. They take so much longer to make, they are not one bit stronger than other joints and the are not actually that hard to make. Took me about half a year to really nail all my joints. That it takes a lifetime to become a japanese master carpenter is just another romantizised story.
I get what you are trying to say, although i think you are being too one-dimensional with your analysis. Within your standards all of what you said makes sense, kudos for the consistency. However there are many different ways to look at a piece of work. Is it effective? Is it functional? is it aesthetically pleasing? etc... After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So in conclusion, I wouldn't go through the effort of learning this kind of joinery, but i certainly admire it for its superb craftsmanship and the way they look. Which is something you have every right to overlook. I more than welcome different points of views. Interesting stuff here. Cheers
German wooden temples are awesome
Yeah, in german traditional woodworking they put much more efford in shapes and carvings etc. The things you see in old churches are just insane. The joinery is basic and functional, the artistry comes in with the parts to be joined. I once saw a corkskrew carved out of a solid piece of wood with a gold inlay wrapping arround the screw. Beeing a woodworker myself that absolutely blew my mind, the skill required to create someting like this just out of this world.
Why the computer voice? Spoiled what could have been a great video. Sorry, couldn’t watch it.
Back in the day they were free why the fuck should it cost anything now
because the key to success is learning and respect..good luck!
some joinery dont look strong enough.
I agree, but some are for strenght in constructions/buildings, and som for furniture where strenght is not as important.
Use your own voice ffs
excuse me！it's chinese!
hahaha~ridiculous.
by the way,it's good video very clear.
Hire a human to supply voice!
Robot voice = dislike
Computer voice over. sooooo 2012 . Have my dislike
Brilliant exposition of the complexity, beauty and functionality of this Japanese art form. But why the tedious repetitive noise with musical instruments. Utterly witless, annoyingly distracting, and very unJapanese, it epitomised and encapsulated the the tawdry cheap disposable worst of Western media noise. Totally inappropriate to the philosophical ethos that underpins all great art. Why wrap such a treasure in a cloak of ghastly half-wit noise when traditional music from the land of its origin is the better way to go if it is felt that the visuals cannot stand on their own. A low key informative commentary on these fascinating Examples of the art would have been a gratifying inclusion instead of that mind-numbing clangorous noise. As is, its only watchable with the sound turned off.
That sucks, sorry for the hassle!
This is the technology invented in China, not Japan
Of Course China has it's own place.
The Koreans also used it for building ancient buddist temples, old palaces for their Kings and traditional Korean houses.
The temple Technology is called " Dae-Mok-Jang" in Korean and they were used for hundreds of years and even till today in Korea. It is one of the rare UNESCO korean heritages.
The Following terms were used for traditional Korean Palaces,Buddist Temples, Gates and even Cabins.
1. Daemokjang (for large woodworks especially the Pillars and center Beams)
2. So-mok-jang( small or thiner woodworks)
3. Wa-jang( for roofing tiles)
4. Seok-jang( for Stone Carvings and Masonry)
5. Mi-jang( for wall finishing...clay or cement)
6. Dan-cheong-jang(for coloring the buildings)
Now, the type of wood that were used in Korea in General are Pines although Koreans have used the Cedars.
The Japanese Cedars that they claim that last for hundreds of years is called "Cryptomeria" which are available in
mainland China, Korea and Japan as well.
Cedars along with Pines and Bamboos are exclusively Asian grown trees and they are available throughout the Asia.
Japan did develope and still being developed the new joinerys even till this day.
Just like any other technologies in japan.
The joinerys are beautiful and sturdy But the cedarwoods are freaking expensive.
@Jug Pitcherman You are an Idiot nail you! and screw you! western dimwit.
Many cultures develop some kind of woodworking,look up just about any Chinese woodworking and you'll see the difference, techniques shown here was develop in Japan hack watariago-shiguchi one of oldest techniques goes back to the Jomon period before japan has contact with Mainland Asia.
It looks uselessly over-complicated and fragile.
