Hello! I’m Shoyan.
I have been working as a carpenter in Japan for 50 years and am a licensed architect and technician.
I would like to share my work, knowledge, etc., regarding Japanese carpentry.
I hope you enjoy my videos!

I can't be the only one to laugh at "I am finally free from their complaints" I'm sure many can feel sympathy for this sentiment. Awesome work!
The key learning : before choosing any colour, talk to your wife !
jsjciwnsondc
That was a popular color 40 years ago

It was a big mistake to select a colour with first discussing with his wife !

It is very private and personal to bring us into your own home and show us your past work despite any embarrassment you might have. I appreciate how difficult this must seem at times but you have opened a window into your private life for all of us to see. Thank you for this because it gives dimension to someone we only see in the workshop. I look forward to seeing the project development and I'm sure that it will make your family very happy.
It's the age old problem. The carpenter works on everyone else's house before their own. I am sure this is going to be a top notch kitchen renovation.
I am humbled by this man. " I hurt my back, so I took a couple of months to complete my architect's exams". What a fierce example of what it can mean to be a builder. Proud, expert, humble, exacting and uncompromising.
Shoyan's rough work is 99% better than every other carpenters best work
He works harder than most 20 and 30 year olds too
This man moves like he's 40. Such an inspiration. Love your work
Stopped smoking probably helped
There is no better or worse customer than yourself! Excited to see the craftsmanship.
I'm sure this saying exists elswhere in the world but in Estonia we have a saying, that it is good to observe burning fire, flowing water and a working man. Not many people make things happen and change with their own hands. Thank you for inspiration and teachings.
68 years old and working as hard as a man half his age! if not harder!! you are a credit to our profession Sir, I can't wait for part two! thank you so much for sharing,
greetings and best wishes from a brother carpenter,
Richard Wright
York, England.
A person rarely gets to go back in time to change something that they have done.
It can be a cleansing experience to correct old challenges that have laid dormant for so long.
As painful as it may be for you to relive these memories, it is also very interesting to watch how you know right where to go to start the rebuilding process.
I am looking forward to the rest of your rebuild, thank you for sharing.
It's funny you said about not knowing what you did yesterday but remembering what you did 40 years ago I think we're all like that my friend I do the same thing all the time.
The yellow tile was a nice pop of colour and felt very cheerful. Don't feel too bad about past trends some of them are coming back!
Very nice color indeed!
So happy that this youtube channel has afforded you the ability to finally renovate your own home. You always see mechanics driving "beaters" and contractors living in construction sites...but you never see surgeons with an unstitched cut...congratulations shoyan you are a surgeon!
Glad to see you remodeling your own home. I'm sure your wife will enjoy seeing the new rooms as well. I look forward to seeing this project progress. Always nice to do the work on your own home.
One of the best videos on this channel for me , a life-long carpenter.
Fascinating to see the 80's techniques used in Japan,
and hear my young voice in the distance,
as I remember renovating my 1st house ,, in 1980 - '86
room by room.
Looking forward to this series !
Can't wait for part two!
みんながずっと健康で幸せでいられますように
the house is quite clean after 40 years... nice job keeping it in tip top shape!
Ah yes, looking at something you did years ago and thinking to yourself, "Oh yeah, I remember doing that."
Looking forward to this series. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
as a fellow carpenter here in Canada, it is extremely interesting to get such a look at how things are built in other countries.
I am so amazed at how clean you work and how precise everything is. You are like a CNC machine!
Well you certainly did a complete job of removing ALL POSSIBLE SECTIONS, ready for the upgrade Shoyan. I look forward to the next video. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
It is an absolute pleasure to watch you work. Thank you.
Bless me, that's some good work. There's almost no damage at all. You did a good job the first time, despite being poor and in a rush when you built it first. I've never seen a 40-year renovation where there is this little damage, wear, and dirt. I'm very impressed by how good your work was even back then. That kitchen floor support structure looks so sturdy! I'm glad you could re-use the red pine!
amazing how we all need to really focus on working on our own houses , world wide , always enjoy seeing different methods of construction
what an amazing video. It isn't often you get a chance to go back with your current knowledge and confront the work of your younger self. This will be an interesting series to follow!! Well don Master!!
Welcome back Shoyan sensei, I haven't seen one of your videos for ages! I remember my Father building an extension to his house when I was young. He was an office worker, but had originally trained as a coach builder. I remember being so impressed with the kitchen cabinets that he built!
I renovated my own kitchen several years ago (I'm not a builder either). I stripped everything out and changed the plumbing and electrics myself, and got an engineer to relay the gas. When it was finished I too was my own worst critic. I used to show people all the 'faults', as if I was proud of them!! Thank you for another fantastic video. I'm sure that there will be more of them on this subject. Work carefully and safely please.
You demolish as eloquently as you build. Happy you and your wife will have a new renovation.
I can't wait to see what you do with this renovation. I'm also very excited your wife gets a new kitchen :)
You are so meticulous even during demolishing. A true craftsman!!
That's very humble to see you working on something that (you) yourself completed so many years ago Shoyan.
That was hilarious when you realized you were free from all complaints.
Congratulations on finding the inspiration to finally make this happen and come to fruition. 🙌🏿
I failed to see any roughness in your work. But then again i just admire your work no matter what it is.
I’d kill to have a house built with the quality he has when he’s cutting corners.
amazing. watching whole video with my jaw opened
I think that you did a wonderful job! That kitchen looked better than half of the homes I’ve lived in over 72 years. Can’t wait to see what you have coming. And take it easy on your back, you deserve to slow down a bit. 😊
Haha as a carpenter myself, our homes are always the last to get worked on.
At 40 years, this was a fine kitchen. The job was lots of physical work. I'm guessing you are near or in your 60s based on the 40-year-old house. Surely laborious work has its negatives, but being able to put in a long day doing such tasks throughout a long life is also a blessing.
Dang I thought the yellow tiles looked so comforting 😂
Thank you for sharing your story - watching and hearing it feels relaxing. Interesting to see how Japanese home is made - very different to houses in UK and Poland.
*Thank you so much, for taking us on you & your families journey on renovating your own private home. Yep when we do this stuff ourselves or bring in tradies to update our own homes, we all find things that should not have been done by builders years ago.. 🙂I did laugh when you said "I am finally free from their complaints", as designs change so much over 40 years. I do however find it fascinating how homes are build in different countries in years gone by, to how they are built today 🙂nz*
Älskar dina filmer 👍 Kämpa på hälsningar från Sverige 🔨🪚😊☕
Considering you had a limited budget, limited materials, and limited time available I think you did a good job with your home. It did it’s job for 40 years, and lived through all the memories you created there, it must be happy to be renovated finally, now that you’ve gained years of experience and we’re able to contemplate exactly how you would want to do it. I’m inspired to renovate my old home now, thank you for sharing with us!
Good video to learn how a 80s Japanese house was constructed. Very intresting! Thank you for sharing, from Sweden! :)
I enjoyed hearing the story of your house and I'm looking forward to watching the next video!
A carpenter’s house is always the last to get fixed
Looks like things came apart pretty cleanly and easily.
Nice Mr Shoyan san, I can’t wait to see the finished product 👍👍👍
Ive never been to or seen your home before but during the whole video i felt as tho it were my home be torn apart some....great job telling the story! The voice overs sound very good now as well!
It's a strange mix of sad and wonderful to see such work removed, but I'm glad you're able to give yourself this well deserved renovation; now with 40 more years of experience and no more cut corners.
In the future maybe a bottle jack under the flooring would help the demolition. It’s a little extra work setting the jack up, but worth the back saving effort! Thank you for sharing!
Wow !!! 40 yrs. We've been in our home going on 40 yrs. Building materials and techniques have changed so much. This will be an amazing remodel !!!
熊のように強い！ 素晴らしい話、共有してくれてありがとう！Strong as a bear! Great story, thank you for sharing!
Must’ve brought many a happy memories when you was building it like you I look back to that time looking forward to seeing the new renovation. 👍😀🇬🇧😀
Incredible to think that at the age of 26 in 1982 you had such great skills. The work is impeccable. And your demolition skills are impressive as well. Takes knowledge to know where to put the crowbar
Удивительный вы народ - японцы! Сколько уважения к зрителю в этом поклоне. Мое почтение!
Me and my wife are unbelievably stoked for this series. LFG
I would call what you are doing as 'deconstruction' not demolishing. You know how it went together, and you are taking it apart in the same sequence. It minimizes waste and allows for some reuse of materials. Good Job.
Nice beginning
Thankyou for taking we the audience on this journey. I look forward to the next video.
very interesting to see live edge timbers used for the kitchen subfloor.
You say you built if fast and rough yet I've never seen such beautiful work in Norway 😅😁
I'm fortunate to be able to learn from a master while he reviews his work as a young man. Thank you for sharing.
Still a beautiful home, no matter what the anyone think. Having watched you do a number of homes/rooms all I could think was "Oh good nails" since now most everything is screwed. Can not wait to see your ideas for the area. Thank you for showing us this.
Those yellow tiles look great, it's a shame they were not appreciated.
I am amazed at how well your work from your early carpenter years withstood the test of time. Well done! Can't wait to see next video in series. Your friend from Mocksville, NC
I love that old kitchen!!
Me encanta el proyecto, ansioso por ver el resultado final.
Very interesting to see how japanese houses are built.
You have inspired me so much, I can't thank you enough! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for all the explanations of the construction components, and also your thought processes.
Secondly: I like your house a lot. One can see that you had little money when it was built, but the workmanship is mostly solid for a young man. I look forward to the rebuild by a more experienced Shoyan.
Amazing work. Thank you for sharing
Great video most interesting slowly slowly slowly this time and you've got 40 years wisdom
How wonderful that you may see the fruits of your own marvellous work, Shoyan San!
Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you. I look forward to the next instalment of this project.
Me sitting here thinking that the quality of trim work is excellent, and he says "the roughness is obvious." I guess to a man who did that quality work so early on in life and in his career, it would be.
Really enjoyed that. It's always wonderful to see you work. But somehow even more interesting to see you do work on a project of your own.
I thought the yellow was nice! Looking forward to this series!
Yes, this house needs a good refresh, i'm not worried you'll have more time and money to make it way better now.
Wonderful video as always. I truly appreciate the attention to detail, the thorough explanations, and the way you showcase everything. Your videos go beyond mere entertainment; they are highly educational, and that’s truly valuable. Last week, I spent time with my father discussing renovations for our cottage (after nearly 55 years), and I felt a connection to your own home project. Especially when we talked about our timber-framed roof (euro/bohemian style, centuries old, rebuilded mutliple times) and the roof ceilings made from planks-those that had endured generations of wood-eating bugs! Thank you, Shoyan San.
Thank you for sharing this project.
Thankyou so much for allowing us to view this.
Wonderful. I’m sure your wife is happy the project has started.
Very excited for you undertaking such an interesting project. I'm looking forward to the results and what you'll do differently after 40 years.
Thank you for the video and efforts.
I love to create, but demolition is my favorite part! ^.^ Cant wait for the next video!
Excellent!
I am a little younger that you still working as a carpenter like you in the states though! Sir guys like us don’t quit until we just can not swing a hammer anymore ! Good Lord willing that will be a while yet ! Great job no need to go to the gym after or before work !
Good luck in your renovated home, Shoyan San.
Nice big kitchen still looking great after 40 years!
How do you get rid of the demolition material in Japan?
Exciting renovation!
Good luck with your renovation!
Cleaning up as you go ,just quality planning.
The first thing I thought when I saw the old kitchen was cool tiles! People are so afraid of others opinions these days that they make everything grey and beige so that it’s so boring nobody will even notice it’s there. It’s so refreshing to see a splash of colour.
Appreciate this..!
The kitchen looks so similar to the old house where I grew up in Taiwan. I didn't know that kind of style was from the Japanese.
Thank you.
I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome. :)
should be a good series to watch
You must be happy that you used nails rather than screws 40 years ago. It makes demolition a lot easier.
This guy's "rush job" house from 40 years ago is built straighter then 99.9% of all the houses in North America!
