  • Hello everyone,
    A few months ago, many viewers emailed me to express their interest in the traditional Japanese carpentry, to show the most amazing view of traditional technology and its importance to the present life. I decided to make a video about: "The Different Types of Japanese Carpenters"
    #woodworking #japanesewoodworking #WoodworkingEnthusiasts
    To understand it correctly of carpenters in Japan, I had the interviews with a few master craftsmen, at the same with my knowledge and done a search on google, I started writing the script about it, rewrote the content, two voices were recorded, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as my statement: "This video belongs to me"
    This time our main characters are: Hiroshi from Tottori Prefecture, Matsubayashi Keisuke from Nagano Prefecture

    I'm going to take you all back a long ways. I'm almost 74 now, but back when I was a young man coming back from Vietnam I was assigned to the Marine Air Station at Iwakuni, Japan. I stayed a year. So right outside the gate there was a crew of house framers starting to put up a new house. I was immediately attracted by the fact that there wasn't a nail used anywhere in the job. It was all joinery. No power tools either. These guys wore a belt with a beautiful set of chisels and hand saws, and they made every cut right there on sight. What an education! I had a habit back in those days of making toy boxes for my young Marines starting families. During my year at Iwakuni, with the help of the Japanese carpenters working in our wood hobby shop on base, the quality of my toy boxes got a lot better. Some are still in the next generation of families. So watch this video and accept the fact that these guys have been doing this for hundreds of years. I'll match them against any carpenter in the world!

      mikemather5 Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience. You were extremely lucky to have had an interest in wood at the time, which drove you closer to those fabulous carpenters. You lived through a unique experience that not many people ever are able to. You've made good use of it. I would agree that these craftsmen are unique in the world. Japan's reputation for having some of the oldest wooden structures in the world is thanks to these Masters. I hope you have kept up the good work, and are still enjoying it. God bless.

As if "anyone" sane can hate, working with clean non poisonous natural materials, and doing real high class craftings.

    One of the many things I like about Japanese culture, is that in a world full of cutting edge technology and progression, the artisan crafts still have a very important place and are widely revered. The Japanese have a definite appreciation for hand crafted goods which we seem to have lost in the west.

    I have spent all of my seventy two years in and around an old timber framed barn on our family’s farm.There are still scribe marks for the various joint cuts. I have always been amazed at how true craftsmen can walk to the woods to select the materials for a project that will out live his children and possibly his grandchildren.
    This video shows true intense concentration and dedication to a purpose. Congratulations to all of the people who are still willing to work hard at improving the world.

    As a furniture maker, I've had some exchanges with woodworkers trained in sashimono. Even though it's not my area of expertise, I have found myself incorporating more and more of their no glue/no screws techniques. It makes the construction last longer, as it allows the wood to expand and contract with differences in moisture content.

    My father returning from WW2. serving in Asia brought home a hand carved cigarette dispenser. He said the gentleman that made it snatched up the crating material that American forces were discarding were like gold to him. Yeah the dispenser was small and somewhat insignificant to the undiscerning eye but was a master piece of cabinet making on a tiny scale. Being somewhat of a carpenter myself, now I could watch this endlessly. Some of the joinery is mindblowing in complexity. We can all agree these people are artisans of the highest order. What I would give to actually live and work in a shop like any of these.
