There are some companies in the states that do work with joinery like this. Mine does. The problem is that most people don't want to pay for the time that it takes to do the work. Most houses built today are meant for resale in 5 or 8 years. Carpentry has been industrialized in America and a house no longer serves the purpose of housing generations. A house has become a commodity to be produced as cheaply as possible and to be sold just as fast as it went up. Its really a shame.

it’s worse with normal houses in Japan: they don’t have an resale value beyond the value of the land, so rather than build for resale, they’re built for demolition.

ThoperSought There are a few different reasons houses resale for less in Japan than the craftsmanship.

Andrew C I can see where you'd take that as talking about the craftsmanship, but that wasn't what I meant. the craftsmanship is fine, as far as I've seen-though the average house is obviously not on the level shown in this video. I was talking more about commoditization. ***** was talking about commoditization driving the way house-building worked in the U.S. (not the other way around, as your comment seems to suggest) well, here it's really commoditization of the land. I've seen a lot of nice older houses torn down-with no salvage effort at all. I've seen houses less than 30 years old torn down and replaced with two, three, or four houses. at least in parts of Kanto, the land is the commodity and the house is irrelevant.

ThoperSought I agree. Land seems to be the more valuable of the two here in Japan. In Tokyo, a few houses were torn down near mine, and some of the wood was recycled. A few of them were simply demolished, probably because the wood was far too deteriorated. As for demolishing one house to make 2 of what I call "cigarette boxes"... Japan's real estate is going to be a mess when the population starts to drastically decline. There are going to be a lot of empty houses.

Yes they ARE more stronger, using physics, when 2 pieces of wood are conjoined instead of just joined, their strength in general become stronger than when and if they were just connected by connectors. The only reason American builders do NOT do this, is because they are always in a hurry and don't want to take the time to learn such "OLD world" techniques. Ancient building was carried over into eastern modern times and still exists as an art as well as structurally sound techniques.

Beautiful. But is it not a bit overkill? Are those joints any stronger than the more "western" ones. I mean. all the elaborate shaping of the wood does weaken the beam itself. Doesn't it? And of course there is a lot of extra work into it. But nevertheless extremely beautiful work.

The hook detail on this corner joint is such overkill. The anchor will surely keep everything bound together.

trick384 Because they are masters of it, and they take pride in their work. Just about anyone can use nail gun to connect two pieces of wood.

+trick384 it is also far stronger and more beautiful. Japanese timber framed buildings can last for many hundreds of years, whereas american 2x4 and 2x6 framed buildings start to fall apart after 40.
