What a fascinating experience to watch skilled and humble men work together in this way. All the while calmly working as a team, respecting the quality of the final result and taking pride in the result. Slow and steady, never forcing or over exerting. Really beautiful work.
Not a carpenter never will be anything more than a weekend hobbyist at the best but I certainly enjoy the fine art and professionalism of Japanese carpentry you are showing. Please continue what must be a lot of extra work for you and the team you are working with. Further I deeply appreciate the inclusion of the various japanese terms used along with some of that content along with its 日本語文体. First lived in Japan back in the 70's and the house next to my place was under construction at the time so hearing the voices and seeing their cohesive team work your crew bring back some beautiful memories. 🙏🙏🙏
I worked a job in China and a Japanese team came in to set very large equipment. They all work like a fine tuned ballet! No lost or unnecessary movement, it's done right the first time. It's a true pleasure to watch the Japanese work, always as a team, one leader who brings and maintains order and efficiency!
The subtitles are a 15 out of 10. Much more enjoyable to watch with the subtitles and much more educational. Thank you for your effort and hard work in bringing this to us.
Watching this makes one realize just how crude American stick built homes really are! The jointery is fantastic and the precision on display is a testament to the craftsmanship of these trades persons/ artisans.
Should really stop dogging on American construction. It works. And it is good depending on the builder. Not like all the homes fell down during large earthquakes. American construction is great and fulfills a different overall purpose. You can get a nicely built home like this in the US but it'll cost you. But in Japan it really costs you. The system is just different there than here. Also most don't live in homes in Japan....think about that.
@e4d578 be sure to keep in mind the general mindset of American construction. Back when we did timber framing stuff lasted through tornadoes. Now we make stuff out of cheap materials and pocket the profit and it crumbles in adverse weather. Traditional joinery can be done without the addition of any nails or screws.
Thanks for this video, I really like the longer ones. Also a shout out to the one who makes the subtitles! Really easy to watch with those. Can't wait for the next video 🙂
Another great video. Thanks, much appreciated. Even the concrete footings are perfectly formed. Each trade works to perfection. I think now we all want one of the Fujimoto Traditional Carpentry T-shirts. Sign me up.
Just another comment of how great this video is. It feels like you’re part of the construction team. We learned a lot from terms, security, teamwork, joinery, techniques… thanks for sharing and documenting this. Kudos to you!😊
I love traditional Japanese house-building. Such teamwork, such attention to detail and a great deal of craftsmanship. It's obvious these builders have respect for their trade, for their materials and for the work they produce, all sadly rather rare in the rest of the world.
While watching this construction, I learned a lot about the Ancient Japanese techniques in carpentry and still perfecting it to the level. Dovetail techniques, Wedge Mortise & Tenon, Through Mortise Tenon, twin Mortise & Tenon, Loose Wedge, Butt joint, and many more. No nails involve in any link or joint of the wood. Ancient Japanese Jointry in woodworking is meticulously observed and learned by most Japanese and passed the techniques to the young generation. Salute to the Japanese people and to the Ancient strategies that many countries are also learning from and adopting.
Awesome work and awesome video. You’ve got another subscriber from Tennessee. I have always been interested in Japan and it’s culture and oddly enough, I took two years of Japanese language in high school. I never became proficient but I did learn a lot. About 8 years ago I started working in a custom cabinet/woodworking shop in Nashville and I love every aspect of woodworking. I’m not doing it as a job right now but I still have the passion. About a month ago I decided to start learning Japanese again. I’ve got the hirigana and katakana memorized again and I’m about to start with the Kanji. I’ve dreamed about a trip to Japan for a long time and I hope to make it a reality. Been watching your vids and I can’t wait to start practicing some of these joints. But first I want to get a good set of Japanese chisels. Your video of the tool shop was a great lesson and I loved the visit to the blacksmith. If I make a trip over there, I won’t be too interested in the bright lights. I want to talk to the loggers, sawyers, and builders. Thanks for the videos and the insight into a very unique trade in a very unique culture.
I don't know if you're religious or not (I'm not personally) although Tennessee is a clue you might be... anyway, my cousin-in-law was recently able to go to Japan with a group to help out a partner church get up and running and it was paid for by the organization. In talking with him apparently that kind of thing happens a lot. Especially if you have some skills of some kind, might be an avenue to make it happen.
@@Bestmann3n why do you say that? you have any evidence? this house will be way cheaper than US houses built from studs and dry walls (paper home) if you see 大改造!!劇的ビフォーアフター in japan, you will know the price may be quite cost effective for housing with lots these kind of wood
@@hamster6093 well I live here, so just general experience I guess. Also my brother in law who works in construction recently built a house for his family and we talked a lot about cost/various options etcetera.
I really appreciate that you’re making a well detailed video about Japanese Carpentry, it’s hard to find videos that shows the first step and the other following steps that one by one completes the foundation of the house that their building. I hope you can shoot a video next time that shows every detailed steps; from the ground to the type of joinery technique that they use for every frame. It may take some time but as someone who wants to learn and understand Japanese Carpentry in full detail, I would really appreciate it and find it very helpful. Thanks for always making informative videos 💙
This is straight up craftsmanship AND teamwork porn. Inspiring to watch. I understand we're watching the building of an incredibly expensive project right now, but I think there's so many things from this crew that construction crews in the US could take away from this. Team spirit, respect, safety, and ego-free work being the biggest one.
Their lack of care a camera is on them while they work is notable. Or their appearance of lack of care. These guys know what they’re doing and aren’t afraid to show it off.
I love these videos! May I offer a suggestion. The subtitles are most welcome. However, I find them a little too small and a dark background would aid in visibility as they often disappear when there is a bright background. Otherwise, thank you!
Everyone says it's their pride they take in the work. No. It's their humility. Tradesmen here have plenty of pride but almost no one produces work of the quality that seems standard on a new home in Japan.
Will they make a documentation on how to assemble this? also Ikea should think to make a small version of shed and sell it. It looks like fun to build it although very time consuming. It needs very careful and cooperative work to assemble such structure.
Wow nihon framing is by far a thousand light years advanced over the states n the west. As much as i live stick framing jomes in the states, the japanese are perfectionist whe It comes to carpentry
So good to watch this master craftmanship in the traditional setting, what are the employment prospects for international tradesmen looking to have a crack in Japan ?? Just asking for and Aussie Chippy ?? 🌏
It is hard to say if it is possible for a foreigner to work in Japan doing work like this. I consider myself fortunate to have been given the opportunity to do this type of work. The lack of English here has placed a massive road block between Japan and international work exchange. I can't give any advice on what to do or how to apply as I received help from friends in Japan to get this job even though my language ability is low. As most foreigners in Japan, they come here teaching English only to change to other jobs after a few years of constant applying to other work. I came to Japan teaching English and found a way to this type of work over the course of 3 years. I am sorry I can not be of more help.
@@thecarpentrylife thanks so much… looks like fantastic work, but very hard to get a foot in the door so to speak… love watching your detailed insight into a fascinating world of carpentry. Thanks for the words of advice and will stay tuned for later videos. Keep up the great work!! 👍🏼👍🏼
I really like watching how this type of building is done, and what state is this in, many us states have some of the strictest building codes and laws.
Sorry. Something happen to the audio settings on the camera. Unfortunately we have a lot of footage that was filmed this way. Thank you for suffering through the video.
Very interested in doing something like this for my family. Can you expand a bit more on the cost and time investment for a project like this? What is the viability of this wood and construction in places like Houston, TX or Vancouver or Northern California? Thank you in advance, great work!
It is possible to repair a pillar, but it will take time to do so. You would have to remove wall sheathing, insulation, etc. to expose the pillar and then do a netsugi joint. This is a vertical kanawatsugi. I do not suspect this will be necessary for at least 50 years. Last house we replaced a pillar on was around 100 years old and this pillar was exposed to elements for all that time. As anything in life, things need to be maintained and taken care of. I think a lot of homeowners forget this. Owning a house takes work and up keep. Thank you for watching.
Utterly captivating…wonderful to see expert craftsmanship at work….if only we could build more like this in the US instead of the incredibly wasteful-and flimsy-stick frame structures that do not stand the test of time.
Love the videos, this is how carpentry should be taught and performed here in the States. The Fujimoto T-shirts the crew wears are in different colors, does a specific color represent that persons skill level or job role?
Is this considered (extremely) high-end framing job in Japan or "normal"? While the joinery and framing is cool to watch, It seems to be very labor intensive!!!
Realizing that every build and scenario is different, would you please comment on the cost of building a home like this versus using one of the major Japanese home manufacturers like Hebel or Daiwa?
I do not know the price of this build. However, I do know that the price of this house was quoted just prior to the wood shock. I would say that the price of this house may have gone up significantly in material costs.

I watch shoyans channel. I commented on how well built japans house are. Another person said that they only last 5-10 years. Because they aren’t an investment. I dont believe thats true at all. With all the joinery used they look much stronger than American built homes. Plus they have to worry about earthquakes and hurricanes as well.
@@prettynicefield1104 Watch more videos man. Like I said, many people here do timber framing and it's pretty badass. Obviously like in Japan, that kind of work is more expensive but they do it here. Explore and find out. Don't assume.
When I saw the title I thought Japanese-American referred to the house's style, not the homeowners who will move into it. I find it hard to conceptualize traditional japanese construction with an american floorplan so I was rather confused.
They're very flexible, lightly constructed, and give good grip - they're pretty much what you want to be wearing when you need to be climbing up on wooden beams. I don't have ones with the hardened toes myself, but the ones I do have are quite similar to those "natural running" shoes that were popular a while back. If I had to be climbing a tree, I'd much rather be wearing a pair of jikatabi than a pair of hard-soled work boots.
Wait this isn't your house? I was thinking you were building your own house. If not then what is your role in project? Are you an employee of this construction company, the owner or a sort of enthusiast?
I could watch this one over and over again. Seems like a good crew and a good leader. I want a company shirt!!! Where are you from and how did you find yourself working as a carpenter in Japan?
How those guys work and the quality of wood processing is definetelly a wet dream for someone outside of Japan (be it USA or Europe) that is thinking about building a house and is going to hire a company to do the work :) Question - how hot was it during the day that day? Also - I've heard at another Japanese carpentry channel that rain at the day of framing is a good sign 🤔

Japanese carpenters are true masters of the trade!
I remember when I was framing my first home and my mentor told me “you’re not building furniture, we don’t need 1/32”. This is more like furniture.
Yeah true, the detail is very fine.
Most of this stuff will stay exposed. So it’s fine carpentry mixed with rough framing.
Great videografy!

I'm surprised they didn't use the moisture barrier between the foundation and sill beam. I've seen other Japanese crews use it on their builds.

Why does all Japanese framing wood look better than the wood I use to build furniture?

What do they do if one beam or pillar gets rotten from bottom? Can it be changed easily?
It is possible to repair a pillar, but it will take time to do so. You would have to remove wall sheathing, insulation, etc. to expose the pillar and then do a netsugi joint. This is a vertical kanawatsugi. I do not suspect this will be necessary for at least 50 years. Last house we replaced a pillar on was around 100 years old and this pillar was exposed to elements for all that time. As anything in life, things need to be maintained and taken care of.
