- Kumetsugu Ebisaki Born in 1945. Ebisaki's grandfather and father also worked on the Showa reconstruction of the Kintaikyo-Bridge. He was the master carpenter for the Heisei reconstruction of the Kintaikyo-Bridge, which took place from 2003 to 2005. He shared the whole story behind the five-arch structure of the Kintaikyō Bridge.
In 1950, a big flood destroyed the bridge. The original stone piers were boxy and angled to handle the river's flow better. They included a central stone, supporting the bridge's weight. In 1953, they rebuilt with concrete caissons and raised some piers higher. The bridge's spans were made uniform, unlike before. During the Heisei era, reconstruction was done in stages, starting with the central bridge and ending with the ones on the Nishimi side, during the low river levels in winter. Finishing the project, especially under tough conditions, was a sentimental moment for Him.

The japanese garden i volunteer at has a foot bridge made of wood reclaimed from this bridge when it was rebuilt.
Amazing Bridge and amazing bridge builder💮 wonderful to see this preserved.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful. But I am especially glad that they used wooden carpentry and not some other type of carpentry.
I spent 6 years in Iwakuni. Kintai was a favorite destination.
unexcelled
Does Kumetsugu Ebisaki say..."Wax On, Wax Off"....
Sadly in my country that kind of bridge is almost illegal to build because of universal accessibility laws and regulations.
5h forest was destroyed
Not really. Japan had been coppicing cedar for about 700+ years.
Why does this narrator pronounce the “j” letters as a “y” sound??? This isn’t Spanish or other language that does that. Japanese pronounces the “j” as a “j”.
His overall grasp of Japanese pronunciation is pretty bad. It's so easy too, simple consistent rules. Cool bridge though.
