When I was young in Hawaii, my best friends dad was from Japan, He used to teach me and him this method for building things like sheds or what not, now I’m older with 20 acres in Tennessee and I built my self a little tool shed in Memory of him ❤
Would be nice if you upload a video if its finished 😊
Post a video or it didn’t happen
Nice ❤
You have too, honour him with that 👊
I do log home restoration in Tennessee, I hope to see something like this one day
Its amazing how buildings were built, beautifully carved, close fitting joints that were designed to be disassembled due to tsunami & earthquake damage. Renew& reassemble damaged lumber back to original glory. Glue not even required, just held together with blocks & wedges. Japanese joinery is a work of art !
@Shadyshanks I feel sorry for you.
@@blakedblake6143 whoosh
tbh, if i look at any old timber building i see stuff like this, even my not so old, 1840+ house has joints that are at least in a way like these, maybe not that elaborate, but they dont need to be 90% of the time
@Shadyshanks Will it last 600 years ?
@Shadyshanks why not . though my life span is not suitable, the community will enjoy it. btw in the vid they are not demolishing it, just moving it somewhere else.
Its hard to imagine a whole house being build with only woodworking joints and not a single nail or screw
truly something to admire
As a master carpenter, and someone that's been in construction 27 years, this is absolutely incredible
People just want project's built fast this killed off the real craftsman.
The skill in that 90° joint is more than i have done on site over 15 years.
their excitement and admiration during the whole thing shows how much passion they have for their work
I love the Japanese culture, I wish I could go there.
It's called etiquette, not passion. Show, don't tell. That's also why Japan has the highest suicide rates and the worst birth crisis in all of Asia... Read between the lines.
It took a fair level of skill and care just to disassemble, I can only imagine the talent and experience it took to design and construct it. That’s incredible.
Yeah because you need to know how it was assembled before you can disassemble it. Makes me wonder why all houses are not built like this.
@@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI Time and labor constraints. Carving something like that takes a fair amount of time, even with modern tooling on something like a CNC machine, that'd be a shitload of machine time when you start upscaling. Then there's the time/skill required for install, nevermind designing it with modern architecture, and engineering in mind.
It blows my mind how they carved things like that by hand, and did so fast enough for it to be a practical means of building houses, nevermind the precision needed for making adjustments in the field, since reality isn't always like the sheet of paper the engineers draw the prints on.
Now take a look at himeji castle and think of the brilliance it must have taken to build that, even 100s of years earlier
継ぎの素晴らしさもさることながら、個人的には撮影者さんたちの楽しげな声もとてもよかった。
みなさんまるで子供が宝箱でも開けるような弾んだ声で、技術への尊敬と興奮が真に迫って伝わってきた。
最後の「やられたー！！！」ってのは、まさに想像以上って事だったんですかね。本当にすごいですね。
大工さんたちも仕事というより、パズルか知恵の輪に挑戦してるような気持ちになってそう。
技術についてみんな語ってるのに、「日本人が発明したんじゃなく、中国や韓国から盗んだんだ」とかしょうもない歴史問題化しようとするやつがいてウザい。
❤
Wow! As a carpenter, contractor and somewhat of a cabinet maker I think I’ll take up bricklaying. I’m no match for these joiners. Holy smokes! After 90 some odd years, the level of precision and the tightness of the joints are truly amazing.
It should be a weird feeling taking apart something that someone who's not alive anymore put together in a clever way. It probably gave them a sense of joy, pride and amazement. For the amazement part, it was easy to acknowledge it in their voices.
92年前の大工さん達も、世界中にこんなすばらしい仕事が公開されるとは思ってなかったでしょうね。
そうですね、おそらく当たり前の仕事だと思って臨んでおられたような気がします。
尊敬しますね。
I’m glad it was. It’s absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to go back to Japan. One of my favorite places on earth.
진짜..일본의 장인정신에 감탄 또 감탄하고 갑니다..
오래된 짜맞춤 목조 건축물을 이렇게 다시 또 분해할수있다는게 정말 대단하네요.
나무라는 재료의 특성을 이용해 정교하게 가공하고 짜맞추는 기술들..
대대로 전승하는 일본인들의 근면성실함..
기술자들 대우를 제대로 해주는 일본문화가 많이 부럽네요..
저도 나중에 꼭 후손들에게 좋은기술들을 남겨주고싶어지는 영상입니다..
コードレス丸鋸、インパクトはもちろんドリルすら無い時代に鑿や切出しといった手工具のみで正確にホゾを掘り、フラットな面を作り出しているのが凄い。
技術もそうだが墨付けの正確さと刃物の切れ味が無ければなし得ない。
Japanese are among the world's greatest metal, wood, ceramic, textile, paper and leather craftsmen...not to mention their art, history and botany! They posses such rich and admirable culture!
And the best at copying culture from neighboring countries
Don’t forget Hiroshige and all other woodblock print art artists and craftsmen.⛩️🎏🙏🏽
Japanese carpenters......the extraordinary best in the world.....abstract minds.....and artists
素晴らしですね‼️
組み込んだ職人さんもすごいですが、現在まで伝わってきて継ぎ手をばらせる職人さんもすごいです‼️
今昔がひとつになれる日本は素晴らしですね😊
Amazing. I am an amateur woodworker, I will never be at this level in my life, but I am proud of what I do. My pieces of furniture can be restored, repurposed or simply burned to make the soil more fertile. I was at Ikea yesterday, a friend is buying furniture there. I almost got sick, everything is fake, the wood is fake, the flowers are fake, everything is plastic.. It does not look safe to burn ever with all the plastic and glue. It fits well into the fake world we live in, but we all need to think carefully about how we live. It would be wonderful to have a completely wooden house that I can leave to my grandchildren. And plant dozens of different trees around it :D
That’s why it’s still standing after 100 years. They know what they’re doing
to be fair, 100 years is not that old for a building. even a wooden one. that's like saying "I'm a vegan and that's why I made it to 50 years old". sure, perhaps being vegan is good for you, but that claim does not do all that good of a job at advertising for it.
@@robinlindgren6429 , you may have a good argument, but have you also considered the other side of Japan that is being prone to earthquakes among other land altering natural disasters?
@@dennismarfo3536 I have.
There are certainly impressive examples of japanese wooden buildings that have survived the ages (1000+ years, not 100) against natural disasters thanks to ingenious engineering, but that engineering is not fancy joints and this video is not an example of that.
Wood happens to be the best commonly available material to make a structure out of if you want it to resist an earthquake, the more dangerous natural hazard for old well-made japanese buildings is not earthquakes, but fire. suffice to say, no level of impressive craftsmanship in joinery will prevent wood from burning.
@@robinlindgren6429 there are modern treatments to wood to prevent it from burning though, as what's used in the norwegian wooden high rise building (tallest in the world)
I'm puzzled as to why they took the time to create joints that will outlast the material itself. Just because they could?
That's amazing to see! Boards joined so tightly together after the wooden retaining pins are removed they still had to beat the boards apart. Impressive is an understatement.
すごい仕事ですね。
自分もこうやって100年後の人を感心させられる仕事をしたいものです。
My simple brain can't even process how they came up with this joinery. Absolutely the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
Probably decades, if not generations of prior trial and error. Your current phone also didn't just invent itself out of nothing. What we see is the end result, not the long process that is usually involved with its creation and thus things can appear overwhelmingly complicated while they were often just developed through a lot of trying and failing until things worked and that's what us outsiders who were not involved with the process then get. Nonetheless, it's of course great building skills we can see here!
Its not just the design that is mind blowing, but the execution.
@@eithw5100 no, you most definitely have issues. You obviously have an 80 year old chip on your shoulder.
This is absolutely mind blowing! 100 year old house and the look of the timber inside the joins look pristine. Joins so tight where nothing can degrade the timber. Makes me wonder where we have gone wrong in todays construction. Super cool video!
It's because we no longer use old growth limber which is far more dense
@@denucci66 That, is of course obvious.
This is absolutely incredible. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be if this style of construction was used more today all over the world.
I'm no professional woodworker, but this is timeless work of art, that many dream of achieving, in this modern era. Thanks for sharing.
I can see and feel the carpenters spirit in their work.
Imagine the feeling after doing a days work with these builders... I bet they floated home
大量のデータから木目に応じた湿度や温度による膨張とかをシミュレートして
マシニングで加工して１００年持たせるならエンジニアの端くれとして納得できる。
だけどコンピュータもない時代に何百年何十世代もトライアンドエラーで技術伝承して
個人でも何十年も技術研鑽して100年以上劣化しない建築物を施工する。。。
技術伝承ってどんな物にもあるんだろうけど改めて考えてみたら凄い。
That is wood construction and carpentry on an amazing level.
Thank you for the new video, Dylan!
Cheers! 😊🙌
This is exactly what i love about this type of building. After century you can take it apart, repair worn parts, add contemporary parts and even relocate. And you still live in the same house, founded by some hard working soul long ago. Have a great time and thanks for sharing these moments.
As I've told a friend of mine who a professional luthier, I've seen complicated woodworking before but only the Japanese take it to a level that is absolutely insane!
If you do it everyday, there is no insanity. Its just how its done.
These joinery techniques are commonly used in traditional Chinese furniture as well as wooden building construction. Where do you think the Japanese learned it from?
@@seitch1 L😂L china numba wan..
どうやってこんな凄いものを作ったのか気になります。今でも作れるのでしょうか、、、まるでタイムカプセルを開けたかのような気分に浸りました。
The historic record of construction, woodworking and geometry in the wood is wonderful!
I adore people who are able to create such joints. It does not go without passion. (And patient of course)
I can make individual joints, but it takes far far too long (with lots of coffee and biscuit breaks) - mastery is being able to do it quickly and for them to align and fit with the other joints. Hats off to those old craftsmen.
価値があるものだとわかって作業してる方々も尊敬します。
Really impressive!
It looks like it was done yesterday. So to speak...
Great craftsmanship!
I can’t imagine the total cost of disassembling and reassembling that house would be. 😨 Thank you for the very interesting video.
In Japan? Probably less than having one made new from scratch.
The amount of effort and skill that would go into making a house like that....
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
possibly done by volunteers ?
I think that the reason it was being disassembled in the first place is because some of the wood is clearly damaged by waterlogging, fungus and insects.
With that in mind, I don't think there was a reassembly...
@@Zbyhonj but the caption says there was a reassembly.
名もなき匠による、名もなき重要文化財って感じ。
時代や空間を超えて 紛れもなくそこにいた人の高い意識や熱意を感じられ感動すら覚える。
文明が発達し便利で合理的になった代償に失って来たものも大きい気がする。
I've always found timber framing to be very beautiful. No matter where you are in the world you will find atleast one beautifully constructed timber frame building. Its an art, trully.
I think at this point, the Japanese are just showing off! This craftsmanship is beyond imagination! I shudder to think how much precision it would have taken to cut those logs to such perfection! They take something and make it a work of art! Their Katanas, knives, pens and even their damn bonsai scissors are crafted to perfection!
@@historyandculture562 I think we had some craftsmanship in terms of bobbili Veena, lepakshi crafts etc. India perhaps doesn't have that culture of perfection. There's too much "chalta hai" attitude
If they were doing it I can imagine it wouldnt take as long as people thing but it would take a few years to get to that level of experience to make it effortless. Learn and practice for 10 years to make it in 10 minutes.
They were Masters in their craft. We can learn lots from them.
Wow !!! Japanese craftsmanship is to be admired for sure !!!
There is true beauty in fine craftsmanship 100%
Wow, wow, wow!
It's so complicated and beautiful!
Japanese architecture is unique!
Absolutely incredible! This is woodworking art in it's most skillfull form.
So well done, you don't see much evidence of major moisture having seeped between the joints. The color is as bright as the day it was milled. And that is the reason I prefer the old way, with or without modern machinery, the joinery technique deserves to be saved, to be used, to be shared. Here on YT, one sees a resurgence.
For personal projects I like the Japanese style but no don’t wants to pay for it unless they appreciate and have the money to pay for it.
This is ART.
If someone is disassembling and looking at my work with awe and wonder 100 years from now I’ll know I lived a life to be proud of.
It's a wonder when you think of the amazing art pieces humans have built. Whoever built this must have really been focused on carpentry and creating a genuine masterpiece
This was a human's life's work. A human who knew that it would be one of their only lingering impressions on the world. I feel privileged to enjoy their work. :)
I would love to see a video explaining the reasons and use cases behind each type of joint! I'm sure they had to have practical reasons for each decision?
Even better yet, figure it out. Then you will understand the process.
The reason is it will last 100 years and survive earthquakes. Nail and screw doesn’t
The complete japanese joinery by Sato is a real nice introduction for that, explaining what joint to use, when, how and for what reason ! (and if you don't have 150 bucks to spare, z-library is your friend but don't tell it to the publishers ='D)
Its amazing how building a house can be a work of art.They never use a nail!! The way the connect each part of they house is mind blowing.
There is so much care taken... you see how a thing is done when you take your time... I think I will enjoy learning more of this.
Wow! Amazing!!👍👍👍
日本って古い良い建物でも平気で解体しちゃうからもったいないと思う
そして50年くらいしか持たない側だけきれいな住宅メーカーのたっぷり中抜した安っぽい家を建てる
Absolutely superb craftsmanship ,the fit and finish of those joints is unbelievable!
I take it you are impressed and awe inspired as to how much dedication and patience it took for those carpenters to build that house. Amazing. Thank you for posting this!!
What a magnificent thing to have witnessed! Thank you so much for sharing this! It was quite an experience to see the pencil and scribe marks of the old masters still there. I envy you having actually been there.
現代の木造建築は、梁を組む部分に金属の素材使う事でだいぶ耐震性つく事からオール木材の家は殆どないんよな。
今となっては貴重なもんだね
Truly an amazing art form only Japanese craftsmen are capable of - Very nice indeed!
Definitely don't see such quality of craftsmanship in housing today. I'm most impressed that the whole building can be disassembled to its component parts. Beautiful work. The Japanese definitely have great talent in carpentry. 👍🏻😁🇦🇺
Wow. That complexity of precision and structural function 100 years ago...way ahead of its time. Feel privileged to have watched this
It was actually a product of its time, not ahead of it.
Glad the guys appreciated the workmanship and didn't just saw it in pieces when disassembling it
It seems that the building is intended for reassembly elsewhere.
The japanese have elevated carpentry/woodworking to an art form
My thoughts exactly.
They must have had great pride and satisfaction in what they did.
@Shadyshanks don't be so stupid. To Japanese building buildings is a form of art which you don't have a concept.
@Shadyshanks That's the point of that kind of carpentry, to not use any nails I think.
@Shadyshanks Where are you going to get those nails from? Japan? The land of nearly zero Iron and the little iron they have is of poor quality. People would raid houses after they burned down to steal the nails out of the ashes they were that valuable.
It's very neat indeed. But it's true like some people point out extremely time consuming (inefficient) to build. And simple repairs can be a lot of trouble. Japanese carpentry is interesting, but in general Japanese houses are often drafty and cold, and often not a desirable place to be compared to Northern European houses.
craftmanship at its best
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. So glad these builders showed respect to this mastery.
To the layman this may look impressive carpentry, but as an ex joiner with 40 years experience, this is the work of a craftsman the like of whom i never encountered
How can anyone not recognize this as true Master craftsmanship?
Beautiful... 100 years on and cut fresher than a daisy from today's garden. Love this about Japan and grateful to live here.
凄い技術に惚れ惚れします。
Absolutely incredible... wow...
Very cool that so many of the original inklines are visible.
Unbelievable Awesomeness.!!!!! A cabinet and furniture for over 40 years, yet I sat with mouth agape watching perfection.
今これをお願いしたらいったい幾ら掛かるのやら…
ものすごい手間ひまの掛かり具合に感動しました
Super, super cool. Great craftsmanship.
凄い挑戦状ですねw
ワクワクします！
職人が興奮するくらいだもんな～ プレカットばっかの今じゃ見た事ない加工ばっかりだ！すげぇ 当時はこれが出来てこそ大工だったんでしょうね
素晴らしい！
Amazing how they built their house with just joint. Absolutely incredible.
Amazing!
The people who disliked this video think that Ikea is top tier furniture.
And I thought I was a carpenter.... no no no I’m just a chipy 😂👌👌
These are building for the elite of the old japanese. Astounding display of art in joinery.
Fascinating! Excellent workmanship standing the test of time.
Thank you again Dylan!
Cheers 😊🙌
finnally i found what i'm looking for....this channel...i gonna love it
this brought tears to my eyes.
Dang that was awesome to see Thank you for showing such masterful carpentry to the masses, Thank you.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Culturally, the Japanese are perfectionists.
That is not true, Japanese people put the very best effort into all that they do, regardless of how inane it might be. It's called "Integrity." Without their best efforts and integrity, they dishonor their upbringing and family name. They are not perfectionist.
Even something such as demolition, they are taking apart the structure with appreciation of the craftsmanship that went into it showing respect for the work done. You won't see that here in the U.S.A.
@@trinoaguirre209 Where I come from it's called perfectionism. Doesn't mean the result is "perfect", but perfection is what they strive for. You're attempting to split the atom.
After ww2 japan became the colony and the factory of usa
There is nothing to be impressed about them
@@mesutelma9984 Says you trying to sound like some sort of important post-war geopolitician.
@@trinoaguirre209 yeah ya will, just have to look in the right places. You won't find it on social media for sure.
I'm very appreciative of your video. I love seeing the craftsmanship
Respect. Worthy of admiration.
I guess when you take your time and do things right, they last.
JUST.INSANE.
The pinnacle, the perfection, the godliness of joinery.
Amazing piece of work,i can't imagine the dedication this carpenter had a that time,it's so nice to see those work i wish i can learn that some day
When they said "wooden house", its meant to be wooden.
No metals, even nails, involved.
C'est tout simplement fantastique. Les charpentiers menuisiers du Japon sont parmi les plus étonnants au monde. Bravo et merci pour ce voyage intemporel :)
Thank you for this video!
Awesome craftsmanship, man..
True craftsmanship is impossible when time is equated to money.
The amount of time, commitment and skill invested in those joints for future woodworkers to drool over!
Wow amazing! thanks for sharing.
Best IKEA kit ever.
Beautiful work. Bonus is there is no noise from circular saws, pneumatic hammers, electric drills or other power tools... just craftsmanship.
