I'm a contractor/custom home builder and engineer in the U.S. The quality of the materials shown here is incredible, and I can only imagine the cost. I'm mid 30's and grew up building homes with my older brother and father. We took a lot of pride in the homes we built, and this carpenter reminds me a lot of my father. What a pleasure to watch this and learn different techniques and methods!
From what I've read. Wooden constructions are about $130-200 per square foot on average in Japan depending on the region. And this is about average by the standards over there. Really makes you wonder wtf are we doing here in the US.
Builders in U.S. don't use quality wood in framing mostly because 2x4 is just so much cheaper and easier to work with (also you rarely have exposed wood elements in mass produced residential buildings in the U.S. whereas even the lower end new houses have exposed wood ). You got to pay a premium to hire someone with this level wood working skill in the U.S. while this level of skill is way more common in Japan.
@@ShawnWitty Ummm....last Friday??? I don't know what triggered you so much. I apologize if I somehow offensed you, but what I meant to say was dimensional lumber and 2x4 is just the smallest and most commonly known.
I’m so impressed with the craftsmanship of this carpenter. I’m an old and Canadian Journeyman Carpenter and was fortunate enough to have built Canadian log homes in Japan. First at Nasu, then near Hita city on Kyushu and a year later near Osaka and right on the Pacific. I loved Japan. If I were a younger man (I’m not), id love to go back to Japan and work again with Japanese carpenters so we could exchange ideas, building techniques and have some fun again. Thanks for showing us your series and wonderful building skills! Cheers from Canada
The materials are so nice, the workplace is always so clean, the tools are perfectly sharp and your skill is most impressive of all. You make construction work look like art!
Japan still has a traditional familial culture based on respect and modesty. Ours is based on acceptance and social justice. We're in a raging dumpster fire.
I worked as a US carpenter in my youth. I wish I could have done the quality of work I see in this video. I can only remember using a chisel once, and I doubt any carpenters I worked with ever used a hand plane, glued anything, or knew what a mortise and tenon or dovetail joint was. It is a joy to watch the care and pride this man brings to his profession!
Americans have a mindset of cheap, fast, good enough, and huge profit. Not saying this is a bad thing but I wish they'd have more pride in what they do and a bit more desire for perfection.
I thought about becoming a carpenter at one point because I enjoyed doing that kind of joinery in school woodwork class but I realised It's nothing like that in the real world. Even in cabinet making it's all MDF and fancy machines like biscuit jointers
I have been a UK cabinet maker for almost 40 years. It seems that I still have a lot to learn. Your skills have enhanced my own. Thank you and keep those video's coming.
All your work is so exacting and pleasing to the eye.I am 75 years old and a carpenter but cannot work through ill health and I really enjoy watching you work and getting such fine results please keep making videos 👍👍👍
Watching this is so frustrating because home builders in the US act like doing all of this in a timely manner would be impossible for them. The amount of poorly slapped together new construction we have is criminal. Even after multiple rounds of inspection the builders fight you at every turn to not correct their multitude of shortcuts, broken installs, and poor work and give excuses.
That "framing lumber", is absolutely GORGEOUS!! It almost seems wasteful, as I am in America, and that type of lumber, would be highly appreciated for furniture, and we use the bland, soft, pine for our house framing. Side note: I do realize that, lumber use is based off what is most available, within the particular region.
I'm an amateur woodworker and made a few furniture pieces. The quality of the material and the craftsmanship is astonishing and better than what I put into my furniture. Even on the "rough" framing work looks phenomenal, and the stairs and built-in storage and desk are just outta this world.
A culture with deep respect for craftsmanship, materials and precision. As an American with experience in Architectural Project Coordination I would have little to do with such a well planned project and skilled crew. Outstanding.
The framing of the house is very impressive, especially when you consider most houses in the states are done with 2 x 4s. Compared to the thickness of the framing in this video it makes American homes look like they are built with matchsticks. Well done!!
I am continually amazed at cleanliness of your building sites, it must make working SO much more pleasant to work in such conditions. In Australia most building sites seem to look like 'a war zone' & the work does not look as impressive as it should, like your sites. I delight in the way that all your tools are kept so sharp & in such good general condition. With the excellent condition of the tools used comes the skill level that you continually display making it such a pleasure to watch you work & the explanations that go with it are excellent. Great work Shoyan, stay safe & well. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
I think this is wonderful. I have only just now discovered my love for carpentry and woodwork, after being out of a job and lending a hand at restoring hardwood floors. All of a sudden I just enjoy the measuring, sanding, you name it. I used to work quite often with wood building stage panels, but it never interested me that much.
@@frikyouall I am a finish carpenter by trade! So I build cabinets, doors, hang doors, base, crown, build stairs ( I say build but I put on risers , treads, railings , build custom storage. All the finishes inside a home. Where I am you must hv a license and carry an insurance bond of $25,000 minimum . In order to get a license you must hv 3 years apprentice under a journeyman carpenter who signs off your paper work! Once you do that at the end you take a state test! If you pass all that you get a contractors license! Mine is called a “MillWorks” license. So I am a finish carpenter ! I see your skill level is way above mine! Just the joinery is very good! I am a good carpenter however, I assume because you do everything from building finished stairs to framing a house your skill level is much higher ! Thk u for the videos and I hope I did not answer to long!

You dont have to live in Japan to live in house like this , you can easy build a house like this whatever you from,just saying, down street from me there a Japan house kinda like this house with great wood working craftsmanship like this .
Thank you for taking us on a wonderful journey through the making this beautiful Japanese home. Your care and craftsmanship always brings a smile of inspiration.
I normally don't have much of an interest in Japanese content, but this is amazing. I especially love it when the wooden parts fit together so perfectly.
You are an inspiration to me. As usual, a steady hand and professionalism. At the same time, specific compact videos and description. You can really learn a lot from your work culture.
It is so beautiful, so perfect and such gorgeous wood, you can be proud of this the rest of your life. I so enjoyed watching you build this. Stay warm.
Love how all the framing can fit together like Lincoln logs. I’m also amazed at the quality of materials. These days in the us you are hard-pressed to find a straught 2x4
Skilful workmanship. Take pride in his works. Dress (plane) very pieces before installation. Hide every screws, as far possible. Well selected materials. Much gave Salute ❤
It was a pleasure to watch you build this home. I see that you’re all very talented workmen with wood. They’re doing a beautiful job and it’s a lot different than what we would do in the United States, but your homes seemed to last longer and seem to be made out of better material than we built, I just appreciate your show and the tools that you use I like that pulp plane that you use
You're a treasure mate. I also love the joinery done in Japan, it's elegant. And being in New Zealand, we should really be doing the Studs and Bracing the same way as how you did, seeing as we're both in extremely Earthquake prone countries.
I love videos like these to learn new skills. I find it great how easy it is nowadays to share skills with people from all over the world and pass on knowledge.
I'm so happy to have found this video.. I subscribed right away.. Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail is unmatched,,.seeing this make me want my home to be built by japanese. the techniques and methods is a pleasure to watch.thank you for this video sir 👏🏻👏🏻❤❤..this is inspiring
You Sir, have my biggest congratulations and utmost admiration! This type of master craftmanship is SPECTACULAR! I truly wish I could have learned what you know, and really hope that your knowledge, skills, and passion for what you do will continue for generations to come.
I wish I could hire these guys to build my home in the US. I know the quality would last 100+ years with little to no repairs and the cost of labor and material would be the same or cheaper. I feel that their culture they make use of everything and don't waste wood. AND ONLY 5 MONTHS TO BUILD THE HOUSE. (depending on size of course)
This is timber-frame home building. The level of craftsmanship is mind-numbingly sophisticated and the beauty of the finished home is like that ever-elusive cherry blossom tree. Man oh man. If I had the money and the land, I would fly the Japanese to the U.S. to build my home. Or I'd move to Japan.
This construction is amazing, an interesting fusion of traditional style with modern techniques. Excellent collection of videos and particularly excellent the pronunciation of the voice-over speaker. (Translated with Google from Spanish)
I've always dreamed to have a house built when I lived in Japan. I do admire all Japanese carpentry skills and work - there's no match for a wonderful seasoned professional daiku!
5 months of interior joinery work? That looks like a lifetime of work for me. Lovely work and Simply amazing. Not sure if anyone mentioned this but he has the palm of steel!
you can tell the framing is specifically designed to handle earth quakes. Homes in the US generally don't have the extra bracing, except hurricane states like florida.
It's nice the owners allowed you to go with your custom handrail for the cat walk, one can tell you were really happy to challenge yourself:) if we do not push our limit than we won't know what each of us are really capable of.
I don’t know much about construction and I 100% know this gent knows what he is doing, but it’s interesting to me that so many of the joints are made to be so tight fitting. How is thermal and moisture expansion and contraction dealt with in this Japanese building style? Perhaps there are expansions joints placed strategically but I just didn’t notice. Anyways, beautiful craftsmanship, so impressive!
Most important of all. Measurement well taken. Perfectly fit. Good for interior fitting in winter. It would not expand any more. In Summer, it will shrink a little. Well thought. I’m from Singapore.

@Dr. Pyssinshytz You need to go to a lumber yard that sells high quality lumber.

Best thing about UA-cam is Shoyans craftsmanship will last even longer than the house.
Thank you for allowing your audience to conclude for themselves that you are a master carpenter. I can’t think of a more useful tradesman.
The materials are so nice, the workplace is always so clean, the tools are perfectly sharp and your skill is most impressive of all. You make construction work look like art!
pencil so sharp ha ha
couldn't have said it better.
Absolutely astonishing how superior the care, materials, and craftsmanship is compared to the US.
Industry vs artistry
Same for UK. Standards here are poor
Japan still has a traditional familial culture based on respect and modesty. Ours is based on acceptance and social justice. We're in a raging dumpster fire.
@@Danny........ tbh lol, it doesn't help calm the fire when we also have a crazy old kook running the states
@@alberto10722 damn skippy. He's looking more and more ragged every day too.
I'm in awe! The joinery, the use of hand tools on a build, the materials, the pride in one's work - it's all just incredible.
I worked as a US carpenter in my youth. I wish I could have done the quality of work I see in this video. I can only remember using a chisel once, and I doubt any carpenters I worked with ever used a hand plane, glued anything, or knew what a mortise and tenon or dovetail joint was.

Don't forget the chainsaws haha
ua-cam.com/video/S6mUFrXexAk/v-deo.html maybe wanna watch this vid about American 2x4 framing? It's pretty interesting.
@@ShawnWitty Yes.. In Ontario, Canada, the vast majority of houses are framed with 2x6 exterior and load walls.
In a middle europe we make fun of American houses :)
i doubt you can find 1 straight 2x4 in the US. lol
With all the hand work and fine detail of this build, I'd say five months is not unreasonable at all. Beautiful craftsmanship
Perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. Masterful work and craftsmanship!
He looks so healthy with great mobility and a very interesting meaningful job he can do by himself. I envy him
❤ LoveJapan. The way they build the house such as like putting the LEGO. Excellent detail and clean.

5 months of interior joinery work?
That looks like a lifetime of work for me. Lovely work and Simply amazing.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but he has the palm of steel!
you can tell the framing is specifically designed to handle earth quakes. Homes in the US generally don't have the extra bracing, except hurricane states like florida.
All the wood look so high quality! Never seen anything like that anywhere else!
most of all how lucky his son is...? i hope he caries on his work... wish you best Shoyan san.

Love your work and good character Shoyan. I salute you kind sir.🛠
This was a great series!! It was very enjoyable to follow along. Thanks for taking time to bring the audience with you! Top quality craftsmanship.
a verry nice house! Love it. This is real Carpenter work🔨 Greetings from a carpenter from switzerland🇨🇭
This is absolute artwork at the highest level.
Amazing build with precision and prefab structural frames that fits so well. It’s satisfying to watch 😊
This handiwork is a true pleasure to watch! What an amazing build!
It's nice the owners allowed you to go with your custom handrail for the cat walk, one can tell you were really happy to challenge yourself:) if we do not push our limit than we won't know what each of us are really capable of.
I don't know if it's called just a house or maybe an artwork. The skill and preparation are just mesmerizing to watch.
I don’t know much about construction and I 100% know this gent knows what he is doing, but it’s interesting to me that so many of the joints are made to be so tight fitting. How is thermal and moisture expansion and contraction dealt with in this Japanese building style? Perhaps there are expansions joints placed strategically but I just didn’t notice. Anyways, beautiful craftsmanship, so impressive!
What an honor it must be, to live in a house so patiently and expertly crafted.
Mad respect for this craftsman!
The whole place is a work of craftsmanship and art. Wow!
I like especially the bracing because a little bit of extra cost will improve the stability exponentially
Oh my goodness what an Amazing job you did, Congratulations to all 👏👏🏡🥰🤗, Blessings to you and your family.😊
Most important of all.
Measurement well taken.
Perfectly fit.
Good for interior fitting in winter.
It would not expand any more.
In Summer, it will shrink a little.
Well thought.
I’m from Singapore.
amazing quality of construction and workmanship
Love this guy and his craftmanship. I was surprised to see styrofoam being used, though, as it is a toxic hazard if there is a building fire.
This was so incredibly masterful and inspiring. I'm impressed by your skill, commitment, and efficiency.
Wow. Excellent work and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to create and narrate the videos.
If I was rich I will whatever to get this done at my country, I feel so connected with japanese culture, is like I can feel it in my heart
Mr Shoyan, you Sir are a true Master of your profession, it was amazing to watch your skill and attention to detail. Love your videos 👍
