      If is true that Chinese carpenters came to Japan around 7th century in order to build Tempels. But :
      1) there were carpenters in Japan, and Japanese Shinto-Shrine existed at 7th century.
      2) lots of sophisticated joints have been developed in Japan, and 金剛組 exist since the time. As we can see that Japanese sword, 日本刀, has extremely high quality, there exists technique in Japanese 宮大工, which is unique in Japan.

    You didn't explain wy it is more durable than other stuff, so il do it
    It is more durable becouse its wood on wood so its the same material that means in summer it will expand the same % as tze other part of the connection and stays in perfect shape, but if you have a connection whit wood and nails, the wood expands more when it gets hot in summer than the nail and will eventualy get lose

      Wood expansion is one aspect yes, but it still can't be avoided when wood grain is 90 degrees to each other. More importantly not using nails avoid rust and rot from attacking the wood even after decades, and also allows for more flexible joints that can accomodate exansion/contraction as well as earthquakes.

    Hold on a second. This is classical Chinese wood work. The technique was brought over to Japan.
    Known as “mortise and tenon” joints in the West, or “sunmao” (榫卯) in China, the technique was first discovered in China dating back as far as 7000 years ago. It was later brought to Japan where the technique flourished in the 12th century.
    At the pentacle of mortise and tenon joints woodwork is the Chinese Imperial Palace (aka the Forbidden City). Next time you visit, make sure you look up at the ceiling/roof of the buildings. The complex has one of the most sophisticated seismic damper mechanism ever made, constructed entirely out of mortise and tenon woodwork joints.

      Chinese engineers would be hired since B.C. to participate in the construction projects of the kingdoms in Korean Peninsula, and after the technology spread there, Korean engineers took part in Japanese architecture. For example, "Shitennoji," a famous Japanese temple, was constructed in 578 by three Baekje engineers(reference, Nihonsyoki) They also built the famous temple, "Horyuji" and established a construction company called "Gongogumi" for 1,400 years.

    This technique was vastly used in the East Asia, originating from China. It may vary in places, but was very commonly used not only in Japan, but also in China, Korea, India, etc.
    Also, though it may come from a different origin, there were similar construction techniques in Europe too.
    Just trying to say these techniques aren't native nor original for Japan. A lot of these stuff can be seen all over the world, and especially in Korea, where these techniques were really put into hand and mastered, then were passed on to Japan.
    But it is unique that Japan still uses and polishes these techniques to the modern days, thanks to them being vulnerable against frequent earthquakes. Wooden buildings noticeably withstand better against earthquakes, and because of that nature, Japanese have really mastered this technique and is probably in the best position right now.

      @@harisankar1932 Honesly, I don't like nor like seeing people spilling racism around, but there are a lot of Indians who say everything they have is superior compared to others and just makes people want to be 'that guy'.
      You know what they say, ultranationalism is just as toxic as racism.

    Probably the best thing to learn from Sashimono is that wood expands due to cold weather and these very tiny gaps are nonexistent overtime due to this making the structure as if it was whole making it very stable, durable and long lasting if attached correctly.

      @@mikuisgod4591Dude…. Don’t ‘just’ these pieces of art-joinery. Almost anyone can make a dovetail today. But these joints have so much intricacies they are well beyond the capabilities of I guess more than 90% of woodworkers. And I think I’m guessing that conservatively.

      You probably don’t remember, but back in the ‘50s, the label ‘made in Japan’ indicated that the item had very limited durability. Now, it’s a sign of quality!
