    Your son is a lucky man for having you as his father.

    Shoyan-san, Thank you so much for sharing your story and daiku no skills with us, your viewers. My partner, Keiko-san, grew up in Toyohashi and worked in her father's lumber yard. She is no longer alive, but every time I use my Japanese tools--kanna, nokogiri, nomi--i think of her and miss her. Please continue to make your videos. They are very instructive. Also, would you please consider making a video that shows some of the houses you have made? I am sure that other viewers would like to see them.

    Being a carpenter myself it struck me when you mentioned the best part of our work. Even after 40 or 50 years you can drive by and: "This is a house I built 40 years ago and it it so strong that it will make another 40".

    This channel is a dream come true for me. I have also solely been working as a woodworker since junior high. I discovered Minkas, traditional Japanese farm houses and began studying them 20 years ago before youtube. I came to recognize that the wood working skills and practices in Japan are simply amazing and perhaps the best in the world. I always wanted to go abroad and study woodworking in Japan but knew it would never be possible, until now! Thank you for bring a small beautiful and critically import slice of Japan to me.

    As a carpenter from another country I certainly can appreciate the precise nature of Japanese style joinery. I really like the interlocking joists and runners. The lovely blond wood. How it is finished on site. The detail of how much work that actually is. Thank you for sharing your vast experience with us.

    Subscribed!! I'm so glad I found your channel. I've worked building and refurbishing many homes as a general contractor but I've switched trades to become an accountant. Now I own a beautiful home that was built in 1933. It has picture windows, crown moulding, and built in cabinets. To maintain and improve it, I believe I need to increase my knowledge of joinery, and there is no better place to look than your style. Your craftsmanship matches my beautiful home's style, and my personal style as well. Domo arigato goizimaso sensei! (Sorry, my Japanese is terrible but I think you understand)

    Thank you so, so much for all of the hard work you and your son have done to make these videos for foreign audiences. I had the incredible privilege to go to Japan and visit the Edo-Tokyo Architectural museum in 2016, and was absolutely astounded by the incredible craftsmanship of Japanese carpenters. I've wanted to learn more about Japanese carpentry ever since, and was so excited when my Dad sent me this channel. The amount of work is so evident in each video, from the easily understandable voice over and subtitles, to the incredibly helpful visual aids, your videos are wonderful, professional, and so enjoyable! I especially appreciate the visual aids for the different styles of mortise and tenon joints! These videos are truly so special, and I cannot thank you enough for all of the work you've done making them. I hope you're having a wonderful year so far, and I hope you get to make lots more!

    @blacknight1003 2 года назад +16

    Shoyan, I started to watch your channel about a year ago. It’s a privilege to see traditional masters go about their trade. I myself, am a trained printer/compositor. My trade died in the mid-eighties when the digital age took over. I thought nobody would be interested in “letterpress” after that, but slowly it is now seen as an art form. Once you have those skills and enjoy the work, it becomes a hobby and you are able to teach the younger generations who are interested in how things were done. Good luck to you sir, and keep doing what you are doing.

  • @amandaling75
    @amandaling75 Год назад +1

    I watch your videos to decompress from a stressful day. My work has nothing to do with construction. I trade the stock market. I find much inspiration from how precise you are with construction. And that is a skill I need to acquire too for trading. I enjoy your videos very much. I do wish that you show more of the completed work in details. I find the ending of each video quite abrupt. I wish it has at least another 1 to 2 minutes of showcasing the completed work. I also would like to see the grains of the wood that was use for each work in more detail. Thank you so much for doing these videos.

    I have built pallets (パレット) and crates (箱) for seven years now but I apprenticed when I was 16 in western-style pole building framing (米国の柱・梁構造). Your story and videos have stirred the passion to do more than simply nail one board to another again. There are many sources to learn from and I look forward to your channel being one of them.

From watching your videos I not only learn new techniques for performing carpentry, I also gain new ways of conceptualizing problems before trying to find solutions. Your videos are very wholesome and spiritually up-lifting. I have subscribed to your channel and shared it with others. (I bow towards the screen). Thank you again.
