In Japan, Repairing Buildings Without a Single Nail
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- In the past, making and developing metal was too costly for carpenters in Japan. So instead of using nails, carpenters called “miyadaiku” developed unique methods for interlocking pieces of wood together, similar to a giant 3D puzzle. Takahiro Matsumoto has been a miyadaiku carpenter for over 40 years. He runs his company in Kamakura, Japan, where he assesses and repairs damage sustained by the many ancient temples in his city. Using ancient techniques, he ensures that these spiritual structures stay standing for generations to come.

Bro I swear Japanese people have the biggest passions for anything. They do their work for decades and never get tired of them. I aspire their hardwork
I agree... not only that, they’re also humble. Could be at the top of their craftsmanship and say that they still have much to learn and improve. An endless quest for perfection... love it
This is why they are almost perfect on basically everything

Ive been working as a carpenter here in Japan for 10years but these guys have completely different level of carpentry skill and I really look up to them.
They do their apprenticeship for 20 years minimum then they start being acknowledged as a temple carpenter and that’s when they start getting average wage in the society.
They work for passion, not money.
That’s why I have massive respect to these guys!

So basically, the assembling we saw at the beginning is a masterpiece, I used to study carpentry when I was 16, I had two amazing teachers whenever we were working on actual carpentry, one was a "compagnon" (I don't know if it exists anywhere else than France) which is basically the elite of hand work (there's compagnons in pretty much every work that involves hand work) and a best worker of the year (that guy was clearly above the other) and one day, he started the "theory" class and showed us this assembling that he did himself, he then explained us it was a very smart assembling because no matter how hard the pressure is on the wood, it tightens the assembling and make it even more solid, plus the fact that it's a real work of art creating these types of wood structure, it really is mindblowing when you understand why it does that.
Now I wanna tell you this other thing, this teacher, when he passed the "test" for the best worker of the year, made an assembling so perfect and precise that it slept a little bit and made him miss his concourt the first time, I really admire this guy, by being a simple carpenter he became an artist.
Sorry for the mistakes in my english, I'm french and still learning everyday, and I love english language ! Have a good day !
Hello, Magnifique! J'étudie la notion de compagnons dans le cadre de mes recherches sur les constructions sacrées, toujours construites par des compagnons!

@@blaklenaThe fact that they are masters of their craft, only accept men, and are builders of holy sites suggests that they might be related to freemasonry.

It’s a Chinese technique called 榫卯(sǔn mǎo), people started to use it 2500 years ago and its the major jointing technique of Chinese wood pieces, either small or big. Most of ancient wooden buildings and towers use this technique. It’s not responsible to say that Japanese people invented it, when they actually borrowed it, just like their characters.
There’s an app called 榫卯(wood joints) made by Chinese people that shows how the entire thing works with fascinating 3D models to check out
this technique was invented in china though............................
I actually tried that as a part for a little shelf. It is really difficult to remove the exact part you want so that it will fit and the wood does not break (I utterly failed). You have to know the wood and work along its pattterns. That experience makes me appreciate the pure precision and craftmanship even more!
Somehow it changes the whole perception of the object, the finished piece is a complete "one", perfect, without any flaws. Just beautiful :)
As a classically trained carpenter, the hand made wood joints that were made are incredible. The skill and years of training show 100%.
Any other civilisation that had an extremely limited access to iron and metals in general: *gets stuck in technological advances"

In India I saw houses made up by different varieties of wood in northern part of Himalayas. They uses different- different kind of wood because elasticity level of all the these wood are different then they join them together to build houses yo make s flexible structure.
Himalayan regions lies in earth quake prone area and these buildings are very old and can easily sustain earthquake upto 7-8 in Ricter scale .
My ancestor used elasticity of wood to make a flexible structure so that it could easily transfer earthquake vibration through itself without being destroyed by earthquake.
Probably looks colorful too, because of the different wood types :D

All the best stuff comes from Japan.
Because china uses machines for mass production while japan usually makes everything man made
Swedish is better
elektron117 not sure about that ,what they make lol ?
This type of architecture and wood working skill originated in China.
I love how other countries preserve and repair historical pieces of history, rather than tearing them down. I know these historical sites may be uneeded and unecessary to spend on, but still they give us a glimpse in the past, not everyone knows what happened in the past.
This is taking lego’s to a whole different level
Japan, You never failed to amused me ...
What I found interesting after doing some quick research.
Japan likes to copied from China and they never give credits to them.
Take a close at those pretty Chinese characters you wound find on Japanese shops or restaurants.
Now, look at those Chinese design building without nails. Same goes for their temples.
Even the kimono was a copy from the Qin dynasty of China.
The chopsticks need no explanation lol.
I can go on but I'm just a lazy American.
P. S the ninja was originated from Shaolin China. Their hand signs are calling for Buddha lol. Google it. It's quite interesting.
What else did I miss?
Naruto has made the nine-tailed fox famous, but the story of the 9 tailed foxes was originated from China. The hands signal Naruto used is from the 12 Chinese animals from China.
Anyway, everything you see in Japan is copied off China, from the Chinese characters to its Chinese buildings. Even the kimono was a copy from the Qin dynasty of China. The chopsticks need no explanation lol.
