I deeply admire the care everyone is taking for the house and themselves (I'm glad everyone's wearing their hard hats and safety lines). It must be such an honor to be a part of this project, and I hope you all feel immense pride in doing such a good job. Thank you for a beautiful video, with beautiful music and a beautiful message. I look forward to seeing more!
It's so beautiful. I feel envy (and sadness) that I will never experience the feeling of being part of a team that works with traditional Japanese houses, archetectur, wood working techniques and Japanese art work in any form. But I am thankful for your uploads 🙏 本当にありがとう
I was feeling sorry for not being a part of their incredible experience…and now I see I am not alone in feeling that way! Life is a trip sometimes . At least we get to experience through Mr. Dylan Iawakuni the joy of kominka, patching woods, plus watching his videos. In all, life is good. Happy New Year everyone 🥂🙇🏼♀. Peace 💫
This is my favourite thing about these types of houses, a 93 year old house and you can keep the original wood and switch locations. This is the most sustainable way to live! It is beautiful and inspiring.
What a treasure of creativity and workmanship! The square and plumb exterior encases a veritable tapestry of woven beams in the attic! It is a temple honoring the trees that provided the material. It seems the intent was to make the ground floor framing from straightened and squared timbers and then utilize the natural logs for the roof framing, creating a feeling of looking up into a forest canopy. Incredible imagination and technical joinery was required to use those materials in that manner and the effect is amazing! Thanks for making the superb video and sharing the experience. Your video is an inspiration and important archive that I will have to watch several times to fully appreciate the artistic subtleties of this building!
This feels so good to watch. To see old work respected, cared for, and reused in a responsible and non-destructive way. It makes something deep inside just heave a sigh of relief and contentment.
Wow, this is really beautiful, at first i thought you were bulldozing the house, i was so sad to see it go! It all made sense at the end, beautiful work.
That main beam is magnificent, may it hold up for decades more! It must cost way more to move this house than to build a new one, this family must truly treasure this house. I am glad the old house now begins a new life as a museum. I look foward to see this building one day.
Un travail impressionnant et une expérience humaine hors du commun ! Merci de ce partage de votre implication dans la transmission des traditions et des savoirs-faire ancestraux. 🙏🏻
At first I thought this was the workshop you put together, but no another beautiful old structure being saved. What a superb team you have to do such wonderful work, and a big well done.
I enjoyed 2 trips to Japan, as a guest artist, and both times I came home in awe of the beauty in all of your works. After decades of life humbling my dreams, I am preparing to build a home and workshop. I certainly want to incorporate the natural beauty and genius that Japan has taught to me in my works. It's wonderful seeing the joinery and techniques used in the structure. Thank you so much for all that you share.
Whoa. That was interesting to watch the deconstruction of an almost century old traditional home. The rebuild is a testament to the craftsmanship that went into it. Glad it was preserved. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting, especially the central core beams at the end. I wish to watch the rebuilding. This kind of wooden structure don't exist here in France.
It's amazing that this structure is in such good shape despite how old it may be (presumably); such meticulous detail and care. I wish I would have discovered your channel a little earlier, when I first arrived to Yamaguchi. I've been so inspired by everything Japanese - to the point that I will be implementing some of these techniques in the near future back home. Thanks for posting your videos and providing inspiration.
I studied engineering and used to build houses this size in the US. What I see here is so completely different: different materials, different methods. Obviously it holds up, but I can't understand mathematically how (only because it's so different from anything I have studied before). I'm sure Japanese engineers understand it.
素晴らし !!! It's amazing, you are so luky to have the opportunity to work in this ! I followed a formation with a japanese carpenter here in france. He was here for 2 years only to bring this nowledge. Do you work to this compagny ? We can see you in this video ? :) I would love to exchange with you. Best regards, Riessu
Does anyone know what type of wood oil is used on the wood of these old Japanese buildings to help them last so long? I never see anything that says what it is?
UNBELIEVABLE history, so good you're retaining it.
Happy to hear that!
this is breathtaking
I salute your culture and the craftsmanship
truly. Working with the unnecessary masks can even be dangerous.
Thank you

Please please do a video of the re-construction as well!! :)

Wow, this is really beautiful, at first i thought you were bulldozing the house, i was so sad to see it go! It all made sense at the end, beautiful work.
It would have been interesting watching them putting the house back together.
That main beam is magnificent, may it hold up for decades more! It must cost way more to move this house than to build a new one, this family must truly treasure this house. I am glad the old house now begins a new life as a museum. I look foward to see this building one day.

beautiful craftsmanship . love the way you take care to clean all of it :)
Beautiful.
Marvelous 👏👏👏
Absolute beauty

Thank you for this video. I hope you will be able to make and share another video about the rebuilding of this house.
Happy to hear that!
At first I thought this was the workshop you put together, but no another beautiful old structure being saved. What a superb team you have to do such wonderful work, and a big well done.

Happy to hear that. Thank you for your kind comment 😊
How on earth do you know how to reassemble all of those beams?? You guys must have an incredible marking system!
Beautiful video. I was just curious, do accidents happen often?
Very interesting, especially the central core beams at the end. I wish to watch the rebuilding. This kind of wooden structure don't exist here in France.
Thats great to hear!
Thank you for your foresight and for sharing with us a unique insight into this aspect of Japanese Architecture and Master crafts.
I'm happy to hear that. Thanks Gregory 😀
Wow, I didn’t know all roof beams weren’t milled. That’s incredible craftsmanship. Are all the beams re-usable?
Yes most are, except for the few which were damaged.
It's amazing that this structure is in such good shape despite how old it may be (presumably); such meticulous detail and care.

Thank you for the kind comment! 😊🙌
7:00 This is one tree, running the whole length of the building, right?
Yes, it’s one huge tree!
@@dylaniwakuni woah! Super cool! Great video documentary of the process 👍
Absolutely based.
So what's the difference between mortise tenon and this? And I'm new to carpentry. Just two years in.
Should be nice to see the websites you linked in an English version.
I studied engineering and used to build houses this size in the US. What I see here is so completely different: different materials, different methods. Obviously it holds up, but I can't understand mathematically how (only because it's so different from anything I have studied before). I'm sure Japanese engineers understand it.
fascinating, but please the next time without music, only the sounds of the timber and the workers :))
Will the wood be cleaned up? There seems to be a lot of bird poop on many beams.
👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍👍
素晴らし !!!
It's amazing, you are so luky to have the opportunity to work in this !
I followed a formation with a japanese carpenter here in france.
He was here for 2 years only to bring this nowledge.
Do you work to this compagny ? We can see you in this video ? :)
I would love to exchange with you.
Best regards,

I wont this house how can i made in india

Hi beautiful work! I am curious why you have Iwakuni in your name? I am renovating an Akiya near Iwakuni and documenting on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing
That’s great to hear. Good luck with your renovation!
