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.

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. 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.

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.

It's so fascinating that we have similar craftsman here in Kerala who build temples and houses using the locking method of wood construction. Kerala's traditional archietcure has Japanese Zen quality to it. But Idk how may be they once had visitors from Japan who knows. I also think The Temples in Pashupathinath in Nepal uses similar techniques. Japanese are by far the worshippers of beauty, dedication and orderliness. Really Love Japan ❤️. If there is a country exact opposite of Japan it's India but contradiction is that our Traditional arts and Architecture is very much like Japanese perfection. Strange world we live in.

Thank you for the information. As a fellow Indian, I never knew these facts

[@PrakashSharma-ez1ce]

I think the opposite, Buddhism was exported from India to Japan, Even the man in the video is doing Namaste. In rural Bihar I have seen Carpenters doing this, They even make wood nails. We Indians always discredit our past, India was invaded then colonized for a brief part of History. Due to this we have forgotten many skills

[@Deenanaanu]

@@PrakashSharma-ez1ce So who said anything about Buddhism not being exported from India. Well all of temples are built using interlocking methods and we even built temples in Cambodia using the same method. But I don't think you get the argument.

Nails are probably harder to remove but a screw could probably just be exposed and then they could replace it when necessary... IDK

[@遊具も数化]

Those aren't screws. They are called aligning bolts. The only use of them is to make the wood put in perfect place especially in flat surface to make sure the wood placed is even. This would also help to check the stress of a wood especially when it's a block of 30-50 kg of wooden beam maybe a hundred. That's why he said it need 150-200 years to repair/maintain unlike back then where they would do it every 10-25 years.

Greg 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

[@stigrabbid589]

Vikings and Post-Viking Nordic people made structures entirely of wood for a long time as well, in fact there are churches made entirely of wood called Stavkirkes, which are held together with wood pegs and clever woodworking, and there is one in South Dakota (yep, in the USA) that is a smaller replica of a Norwegian Stavkirke, which was built exactly to the specification of the Norwegian design.
