やさしい　です

Great camera work.

Nail factory is scared of this technique goes worldwide

Japonês 👍👍👍

Il faut arreter de dire sue c'et japonais, il s'qgit du trait de jupiter tout ce su'il y a de plus occidental.

No he visto ni un clavo

Is it possible for a foreigner to learn this craft? I am interested with this.

Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

古代中国的匠人，早把这项技艺创造得顶峰造极，这不是日本的技艺，这是古代中国匠人的技艺！！

What a complex appearance that joint had and yet it was simply slid together, genius. Love the satisfying sound of the sharp chisels shaving the timber.

木目も揃ってるのすげぇ

Pissed me off that I didn’t see it get cut off

追っかけじゃ、懐かしいと

Is that any good on mdf?

Bravo !

My ADD 😮

I'm seeing it with my own eyes, but i still can't believe it's possible. Naoto Kawai must be a genius.

What is it about the Japanese that whatever they do, from ancient crafts like this, to the latest technology, they do so well? These joints are a thing of beauty.

Love it! What's the purpose in that type of joint? Extention of a beam?

Beautiful Joint!

Good job 👍

How are these pieces held together?

Origami for wood. And thank you for just the sweet sound of bells and chisel on wood

He makes it look like butter instead of wood. It's so fantastic, so expert, I would love a table made from legs like that with a glass top, to be able to see this workmanship.

After work dont tell us about lumbar back pain

I am forever fascinated by japanese woodworking.

天才ですよね。

工藝精準！最高...👍

誰でも出来る仕口

Buildings things I tend to go for the simplest solution to get the job done well, but the level of satisfaction achieved from making these joins must be quite something, I'm tempted to try them out one day ❤️

CZcamsrs: "handcrafted" 🤭 this guy: hand. crafted. 😐.

柾目の桧ではありません！欅です👍海外の興味のある方に分かってもらいたい！これは凄い技術です。

Undoubtedly, but , definitely, an ancient human technology, unmatched, even by today’s technology.

You need to cut better

Can I ask: what is the finish you have on the wood?

How is Japanese joinery so amazingly precise when the layout is done with fat ink lines? What is the technique? Western methods use a knife line, which has no width, but it has its own problems. I would like to understand the Japanese method so that I can try it in my work. Is the idea that you keep track of where the ruler was and simply work to that side of the line and the rest of the ink is in the waste? Is there a standard way to mark which side of the ink line is the ruler side since some layouts become very complicated? Thank you for the excellent video!

Beautiful

Fun fact: the reason he has that split in his shoe is that if the axe swings towards him he can catch it

The whole joint is relying on thst 1 inch piece of wood isn’t it?

Tight work 😉

As always near perfection!

Like a glove ❤

Very nice! Beautiful Joint. You can barely see it.

Wow, amazing!!🤩

The MOTHER of all chisels!!! 😂

How much would you pay for something like that?

Oooh now I need one 😂

It has been used as a traditional method to protect timber siding surfaces, mostly for exterior cladding on traditional Japanese houses, when there was still no means of chemical wood protection.
