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 ❤
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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!
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.
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...
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
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.
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!!
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. 👍🏻😁🇦🇺
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 !
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 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.
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
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.
C'est tout simplement fantastique. Les charpentiers menuisiers du Japon sont parmi les plus étonnants au monde. Bravo et merci pour ce voyage intemporel :)
My in-laws in Niigata had an old house similar to this one that had been in the family for a long time. They had a new one built nearby and moved into it. I was able to see the old one before they had it knocked down and razed.
As a Carpenter listening to the roofers amazement was more impressive felt the same . I’m very sure none of it will be burnt or wasted if it can be saved ... plain WoW
95% of boards in traditional American framing get cut once. And the cut may have varying tolerances of length and/or angle depending on the carpenter. Can't imagine how much time it took to cut and chisel trees into perfect combinations of nameless techniques. Make the smallest of mistakes and the piece is ruined. Go back in the forest and cut another tree down and start over. Just to get them to fit together is a very high level of difficulty. Fitting everything together and keeping it level, plumb and square is on another level of genius and patience. Basically impossible but whoever built it made it happen. No nails, no power tools, probably took 10 years if it was just a few people. Impressive to say the least

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
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.

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。
❤
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.
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.
Japanese carpenters......the extraordinary best in the world.....abstract minds.....and artists
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.
진짜..일본의 장인정신에 감탄 또 감탄하고 갑니다..
오래된 짜맞춤 목조 건축물을 이렇게 다시 또 분해할수있다는게 정말 대단하네요.

대대로 전승하는 일본인들의 근면성실함..
기술자들 대우를 제대로 해주는 일본문화가 많이 부럽네요..

It's because we no longer use old growth limber which is far more dense
@@denucci66 That, is of course obvious.
I adore people who are able to create such joints. It does not go without passion. (And patient of course)

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。
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。
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.

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
Beautiful... 100 years on and cut fresher than a daisy from today's garden. Love this about Japan and grateful to live here.
How can anyone not recognize this as true Master craftsmanship?
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. So glad these builders showed respect to this mastery.
Unbelievable Awesomeness.!!!!! A cabinet and furniture for over 40 years, yet I sat with mouth agape watching perfection.
凄い挑戦状ですねw
ワクワクします！
And I thought I was a carpenter.... no no no I’m just a chipy 😂👌👌

0:40 glad to see tradesmen on the other side of the planet react just the same :D
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.
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
Fascinating! Excellent workmanship standing the test of time.
The amount of time, commitment and skill invested in those joints for future woodworkers to drool over!
finnally i found what i'm looking for....this channel...i gonna love it
Wow! Amazing!!👍👍👍
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.

this brought tears to my eyes.
I'm very appreciative of your video. I love seeing the craftsmanship
Man this is awesome. I'd love to go to Japan and study joinery one day.
Please make a video on how to do these joints. I'm sure it'll be worth watching :)
Yes
One of the most astonishing things i have ever seen in my life. WOW.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
There is Japan on one side and rest of the world. A whole country obsessed with artistry and perfection. Hats off.
Amazing how they built their house with just joint. Absolutely incredible.
Respect. Worthy of admiration.
Thank you for this video!
Awesome craftsmanship, man..
The builder was a great Master of geometry for sure.
Simply amazing 👏
Wow amazing! thanks for sharing.
Same constructions were done by my ancestors in Shigar (k2 valley) Pakistan, by my grandfathers and we were still living in it.
beautiful, these are some priceless treasure
Craftmanship
True craftsmanship is impossible when time is equated to money.
Such brilliant use of pins
Beautiful work
Beautiful work. Bonus is there is no noise from circular saws, pneumatic hammers, electric drills or other power tools... just craftsmanship.
JUST.INSANE.
The pinnacle, the perfection, the godliness of joinery.
What miraculous craftsmanship!
미친 디테일! 정말 놀랍다~
Thanks for sharing
The Japanese... Masters of woodwork and joinery.
La calidad de 100 años wow genial de mis favoritos estos ensamblajes japoneses
Purely AMAZING the craftsmanship fantastic to see 👍
100年前は日本人の寿命も短かったので、当時は若い大工でもこれだけの技術力を有していたことになります。それも大きな驚きですね。
This is massively impressive
No nails bolts nuts! Salute you Japan !!!
I can easily see furniture being built like this, but a whole house just seems like so much work
It feels like a crime watching this good work undone.
Its truly an artwork..
Now that is joinery! Too expensive these days, but a treat to see in the old constructions
how was it cheaper back then? to me it seems like it would be for the ultra rich
Wow amazing work
I love Japan, I wish I could go there one day.
That is insane, I cannot imagine how long measuring and cutting it all would take.
My in-laws in Niigata had an old house similar to this one that had been in the family for a long time. They had a new one built nearby and moved into it. I was able to see the old one before they had it knocked down and razed.
This why old structure endure the time, and newer structure crumble when earthquake.
this was amazing
art of wood job .. i like it
Just One world. WOW
That's really astounding!
AMAZING!
I thought we had very good workers in Italy but here is 1 step ahead.
That is some craftsmanship, dang
When I saw this I had to watch it
As far as masterful woodworking goes-there’s Japanese joinery. Then there’s everything else, as no other woodworking compares.
All these joins were designed without 3D CADCAM software
大工さんは自分の仕事を後世の人に見られるんだよな。
Impressive
As a Carpenter listening to the roofers amazement was more impressive felt the same .
I’m very sure none of it will be burnt or wasted if it can be saved ... plain WoW
Lance, it seems that the building is intended for reassembly elsewhere.
@@leehaelters6182 yes thought the same but was not sure but yes I’m sure it’s all taken down so carefully with love and amazement .
@@Bart-Did-it, it is in the second sentence of the video description. It sure would be a privileged education to be part of the crew taking that down!
How many carpenters could cut joints like that now. Tools in the right hands.
very cool! thanks for sharing
This certainly is worthy of the saying, "They sure don't build 'em like this anymore!"
