@1Jejunum Please enlighten me, what is different about Japanese culture that would motivate a person to spend far far more money on unseen parts of a house than they need to? Also, please tell me what would motivate you to send such confrontational note & end it with "Peace"? Do you think that saying 'peace' will somehow make your note less obnoxious? If you were a thoughtful person, you'd have explained the cultural difference right off rather than just saying I'm ignorant & fall short.

Sometimes a hand tool is as fast, but this could've been done faster and as well with a circular saw. If I were the client, I wouldn't want to spend extra money for the workers to take more time than is needed. I haven't ran the description thru a Japanese to English translator so this video may be of a school rather than a commercial contractor. A skilled worker needs to know how to use both hand and power tools and know when to use one or the other.

@1Jejunum You say I'm ignorant, then you say you can't enlighten me. It sounds like you don't know anything about Japanese culture yourself. Most people would rather spend their $ on things they can see and touch rather than things that are hidden & make no difference. It's fine by me if a person makes an informed decision to spend so much more $ on a completely handbuilt frame, but they should know there is no tangible benefit to one.

@1Jejunum Each piece of wood is different and has its own story to tell. It is the responsibility of the woodworker to listen closely. Eventually a deep knowledge of wood is acquired and this translates into VERY high standards of workmanship. Ultimately if this means a stronger, safer house structure, all that extra money is worth it (^^) In closing, we should know that intrinsic benefits often surpass extrinsic ones. Normally young children understand this better than adults (- -)

@1Jejunum I'm not a daiku practitioner, but I once practiced judo and there are philosophical similarities. If I'm not wrong, daiku is about developing a relationship with the wood - much like judo is about relationship with your opponent through fighting. You are not fighting your opponent as much as you are yielding in order to find the best response to an attack. In daiku, you are not just cutting wood, but working with its natural characteristics (yielding) to get the best out of it.

@hananokuni2580 Thank you for the informative and polite response. You are saying that this is a school? If that's the case then it's great that the students would be taught to use hand tools. I'm sure they are also taught to use power tools and to know when it's best to use one or the other. Depending on the situation, sometimes a power tool is easier to control, sometimes a handtool is. Also, in certain situations a handtool can get the job done faster than a power tool. Thanks.

@deezynar The caption says that the video is an introductory example of how to use a nokogiri (Japanese-style carpentry saw). Power tools do get the job done faster, but hand tools are easier to control and, since one is working more slowly, a higher degree of quality is possible. I've worked with a nokogiri and I can say that they make very precise cuts reasonably quickly. I really like Japanese tools and would be privileged to do a daiku apprenticeship ^^

...in parallel, often times "lip-service" is paid to the same principles about humanity, and how we should treat one another. There have never been any "cookie-cutter" type copies of people any more than any other created living thing. Everything about each of us is unique and valuable; our identities as well as our "stories".

I just used 1:20 minutes of my life, watching a guy use a saw :( but it's okay, I didn't have any plans for today

That timber is so big the weight of itself keeps it in place. Interesting to see a western style saw horse.

And that is the philosophy behind daiku. Different entities working together, harmoniously.
