For those who don’t understand how this works, when the weather fluctuates, and raises up and down the molecules that fabricate the wood gain energy. As the temperature naturally drops, the molecules loose energy, which induces less movement proving the structural integrity of the building. In short, the constant change in the movement of molecules ensures the structure is fundamentally pressed together making it strong. 😊

Also, since when was Japan known for sturdy buildings? I've always heard the complete opposite: they historically opted for thin walls and paper windows partly because natural disasters force constant rebuilding.

[@ham_n_pork]

not only does this technique require less materials, it also holds faster and can be stronger than other methods.

[@jazzyvino]

Using different materials actually makes the structures WEAKER since each material has a different expansion rate when exposed to different temperatures. Making everything WOOD means everything expands and contracts the same.

[@CoolDoctorToad]

​@@ham_n_pork other Methods are still way better I think they used it because they had no metals or just not enough back then not 100% sure tho

[@insertnamehere1398]

They don’t last forever tho. They’re good short term. Bad long term

[@jamescolbeck1517]

For some context, those are dovetail joints. Someone else said they were made in china, but that's not right. we can trace this joint back to ancient Egypt, but Asia popularised them

Pretty sure the basic technique would have developed independently in different cultures using wood for architecture.

putting together wood or timber without nails or screws is hardly a new concept. many old buildings in Europe use timber framing, which has techniques on how to cut the wood to withstand different types of loads using dowels and cuts. Those joints shown in the vid is pretty though. still cool to see different techniques from different countries.

​​@@zrmaccessories2276 My guy what are you talking about. Greeks and Romans are the most talked about historical people. Most random people around the world have heard of Alexander the great. Some random japanese emperor? Most people won't know him. In terms of pop history, Romans, Greeks and Europeans and the japanese are all most people talk about. On the contrary, much fewer people talk about China, Iran and middle East. Far below that is India which is almost non-existent. When was the last time you heard about the colossal stone forts of Rajasthan(some of the biggest forts of the world) or various other massive stone structures dotted across Indian subcontinent.
