    Absolutely amazing. Love watching skilled craftsmen working, especially with such a system, not a piece of steel in sight to later rust. Also, the building in such contrast to all those around right now, hopefully it will serve to remind and inspire this and future generations what can be done by a skilled craftsman.

    As beautifully edited as your videos always are, Dylan, I selfishly just want to see hours and hours of uncut footage of you all working. There's no where else on UA-cam that shows Japanese joinery of this size and used for actual structural building. You have a unique perspective.

      This magnificent structure is more a piece of art than a place to stay dry during a downpour. The average Japanese lucky enough to get a tiny plot for a private home usually has to settle for a manufactured, factory-built home that might last 30 years. As the comment below points out, it comes down to highly skilled labor & scarcity of materials or just ¥.

    • @kevinmccabe7263
      @kevinmccabe7263 Рік тому

      @@MavetSomnus The sad thing is it would only cost that much because US carpenters and construction workers just don't have this level of skill. I'm sure if our industry taught our construction workers these skills that they would excel and really love utilizing them, but there's just no appetite to do that in the US when you can just screw some 2x4s together, tack plywood to it and call it a house.

      @@viriato8566 These days some of the newly constructed homes that are offered across many states in the US for the average American family are (once again) rather small. They used to be small before the 60's already (900-1200 sq-ft). Then 80's and 90's built houses were usually more generously sized. But since then average home sizes have been shrinking in the US. Now I see a lot of small cookie cutter sized house projects going up all over America, even in states like Texas that used to be famous for their generous house sizes. These small 'modern' houses have really small bedrooms. Some so small they barely qualify to be called a bedroom in my opinion. In fact the same size bedroom could be probably illegal to house kids in Germany, which has a minimum square-feet room requirement for children (10 sq-m for single child and 12 sq-m for 2x kids sharing the same room).

    There is an obvious difference from Western post and beam framing with the lack of diagonal bracing in this frame. Is this to make the structure more earthquake survivable, or does the exceptional joinery negate the need? Great video! Thanks!

      Traditional Japanese timber frames rely on the many parallel structures both vertical and horizontal that tie everything together without the need for knee bracing. Probably the better way to do things in a place with frequent earthquakes.

    Hello, firstly, I have great respect for your work because of its tradition and your quality workmanship. I work on optimization and especially on topology optimization. While watching this video, I was wondering if you could analyze this beautiful traditional japanese wooden structure with any software? Because with topology optimization, a great reduction in weight can be made. For example, if you want to work on these issues such as whether there is a need for beams to be on a such thickness or whether design improvements can be made within the beams, I would like to inform you to work with you gladly to improve traditional woodworking and take it one step further.

    The final placement of the ridge beam in this video is called muneage, raising the breast. Time for a party! The prefabrication of the hone, the bones, of traditional wooden construction allows full raising of the average-sized structure in a single day, after which the well organized crew will be back to get the roof decked over and felted on the following day, important details in the rainy climate characteristic of most of Japan.
    So few people can afford this quality of construction anymore in Japan. It's a great pity. The joinery on exhibit here and in others of Dylan's videos is what gives traditional wooden Japanese house construction such amazing earthquake resistance as long as it is well maintained.

    Houses were made of wood in my place a couple decades back in my hometown. If only we had the skill, then today those houses would still be beautiful as ever instead of rotting.
    Now houses are primary made of concrete and bricks in my hometown. I live in a hilly area that used to have thick forest cover and rain (northeast india)
    Wish I could build a house with the Japanese method (here I see families making houses with steel roof as walls and plywood inside because of cost). But I think it would take a visit and couple years of learning in Japan.
