That was absolutely beautiful work gentlemen. It seems that pride of craftsmanship is one of the universal traits that tie all true artists together... Well done.
Having lived in Japan, and studied carpentry there. It is the reason I now do carpentry. I hate slap together stuff! Everything is a race. I will be returning to the methods I learned!
There are some companies in the states that do work with joinery like this. Mine does. The problem is that most people don't want to pay for the time that it takes to do the work. Most houses built today are meant for resale in 5 or 8 years. Carpentry has been industrialized in America and a house no longer serves the purpose of housing generations. A house has become a commodity to be produced as cheaply as possible and to be sold just as fast as it went up. Its really a shame.
it’s worse with normal houses in Japan: they don’t have an resale value beyond the value of the land, so rather than build for resale, they’re built for demolition.
Andrew C I can see where you'd take that as talking about the craftsmanship, but that wasn't what I meant. the craftsmanship is fine, as far as I've seen-though the average house is obviously not on the level shown in this video. I was talking more about commoditization. ***** was talking about commoditization driving the way house-building worked in the U.S. (not the other way around, as your comment seems to suggest) well, here it's really commoditization of the land. I've seen a lot of nice older houses torn down-with no salvage effort at all. I've seen houses less than 30 years old torn down and replaced with two, three, or four houses. at least in parts of Kanto, the land is the commodity and the house is irrelevant.
ThoperSought I agree. Land seems to be the more valuable of the two here in Japan. In Tokyo, a few houses were torn down near mine, and some of the wood was recycled. A few of them were simply demolished, probably because the wood was far too deteriorated. As for demolishing one house to make 2 of what I call "cigarette boxes"... Japan's real estate is going to be a mess when the population starts to drastically decline. There are going to be a lot of empty houses.
Beautiful. But is it not a bit overkill? Are those joints any stronger than the more "western" ones. I mean. all the elaborate shaping of the wood does weaken the beam itself. Doesn't it? And of course there is a lot of extra work into it. But nevertheless extremely beautiful work.
Yes they ARE more stronger, using physics, when 2 pieces of wood are conjoined instead of just joined, their strength in general become stronger than when and if they were just connected by connectors. The only reason American builders do NOT do this, is because they are always in a hurry and don't want to take the time to learn such "OLD world" techniques. Ancient building was carried over into eastern modern times and still exists as an art as well as structurally sound techniques.
+trick384 it is also far stronger and more beautiful. Japanese timber framed buildings can last for many hundreds of years, whereas american 2x4 and 2x6 framed buildings start to fall apart after 40.

素晴らしい！土台も留めなんだ！
Quality and workmanship lives, notice all done by hand, The signature at the end Pride, and rightly so. Thank you

the important is that: he didn't use any adhesive to join the joints, very exiting.

Nice joinery! I like the big mallet too.
The hook detail on this corner joint is such overkill. The anchor will surely keep everything bound together.
mis respetos, un gran trabajo, saludos desde Perú
I like the joint work.
Excellent work
基礎に接手をつかったところで、1階床の水平強度は基礎立ち上がりとボルトで出てしまうので、接手は仕事していないのでは？（施工側の趣味でされる分には良いですが、これで工作作業手間賃を施主さんに請求してるとしたら不要な手間賃となります）。またもう少し単純な接手ならプレカットでも可能です。またボルトなしだと、横方向からの加重によって建物が基礎から落ちてしまいますのでボルトは必要です。
釘、ビス、ボルト。
金物なんか使わなくても地震に強い建物は造れます。
でも、お国が許してくれないんですよねｗ
技量に差がでるし判断が難しいからでは？
Absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the cost for this type of woodworking is prohibitive.
extraordinario ,es un verdadero arte en ejecución .

ThoperSought There are a few different reasons houses resale for less in Japan than the craftsmanship.

I don't understand that corner joint it was loose. Hooks do nothing.
maybe i missed something?
+Matthew Heffernan When you say hooks were loose, I believe your talking about the gab in the joint left for a square taper peg that will lock it in

Does anybody create joinery like this using CNC?
Yes they ARE more stronger, using physics, when 2 pieces of wood are conjoined instead of just joined, their strength in general become stronger than when and if they were just connected by connectors.

toda una obra de arte
I don't understand why they employ so many different and elaborate methods of joinery
trick384 Because they are masters of it, and they take pride in their work. Just about anyone can use nail gun to connect two pieces of wood.
+trick384 it is also far stronger and more beautiful. Japanese timber framed buildings can last for many hundreds of years, whereas american 2x4 and 2x6 framed buildings start to fall apart after 40.
すばらしいですね。
昔の物が良かったな。宮大工の仕事を見たあと大手住宅の仕事を見ると全然違う。そりゃ宮大工があんなんじゃ長くは持たんが❗️って言うはずだ💦
耐久性なんて今の市場で重視されていないからね。核家族化が進んでせいぜい２世代が住めれば良いだけだもん。
芸術だな！
Всем сердцем я чту,
Отдыхая в полдневный жар,
Людей на полях. (с)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice very nice job!
Masterly!
That's what I call joinery!

檜だと思います
wow..
I second that
just amazing. after looking 2x4 with nail gun. Its a art and others are so barbaric.
コンクリ基礎ならボルトないと突き上げの地震には耐えれんよ。
It's a Nipponese thing. Americans won't understand.

ボルトは法律です。
ちょっとまて、本当に宮大工？
うちの工務店の大工さんみんなこんな感じなんですが…。
杉は使わない。土台があるのは、江戸建築以後。
それがどうした？
宮大工じゃない
普通の大工さんもやってるよ
Meister
木組み良くても木の土台パッキンじゃアリ入る
宮大工？ボルト使ってるやん
弟ねこてん 法律でそうなってしまったのではと、考えます。
でも木組みと鉄を合わせたら凄いと思いまふ
アンカーボルトだよ。大昔にコンクリート基礎なんって無かっただろ(笑)
抜け防止だよ。
石場建てならともかく
コンクリート基礎に
ボルト無しでどうやって
土台をとめるのでしょう？
ホールダウン金物を使って
柱と共に固定します。
戸建ての新築で宮大工の仕事いらないやろ
