The Different Types of Japanese Carpenters - Woodworking Absolutely Incredible

Hello everyone,
A few months ago, many viewers emailed me to express their interest in the traditional Japanese carpentry, to show the most amazing view of traditional technology and its importance to the present life. I decided to make a video about: "The Different Types of Japanese Carpenters"
#woodworking #japanesewoodworking #WoodworkingEnthusiasts
To understand it correctly of carpenters in Japan, I had the interviews with a few master craftsmen, at the same with my knowledge and done a search on google, I started writing the script about it, rewrote the content, two voices were recorded, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as my statement: "This video belongs to me"
This time our main characters are: Hiroshi from Tottori Prefecture, Matsubayashi Keisuke from Nagano Prefecture

I'm going to take you all back a long ways. I'm almost 74 now, but back when I was a young man coming back from Vietnam I was assigned to the Marine Air Station at Iwakuni, Japan. I stayed a year. So right outside the gate there was a crew of house framers starting to put up a new house. I was immediately attracted by the fact that there wasn't a nail used anywhere in the job. It was all joinery. No power tools either. These guys wore a belt with a beautiful set of chisels and hand saws, and they made every cut right there on sight. What an education! I had a habit back in those days of making toy boxes for my young Marines starting families. During my year at Iwakuni, with the help of the Japanese carpenters working in our wood hobby shop on base, the quality of my toy boxes got a lot better. Some are still in the next generation of families. So watch this video and accept the fact that these guys have been doing this for hundreds of years. I'll match them against any carpenter in the world!

That’s really cool 😌😌😌

Welcome home my brother in arms! God is good! Thank you for your service to our nation. It is an honor to call you brother. I would love to hear your stories of service and just about your life in general. As I believe it would be tremendous joy to other service members and people all over the world. Love you brother. We are the Sheepdogs!

[@LeofromFreo]

Thanks for sharing that story. It must have been a real eye-opener experiencing a very different culture. ☮️

[@musamor75]

mikemather5 Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience. You were extremely lucky to have had an interest in wood at the time, which drove you closer to those fabulous carpenters. You lived through a unique experience that not many people ever are able to. You've made good use of it. I would agree that these craftsmen are unique in the world. Japan's reputation for having some of the oldest wooden structures in the world is thanks to these Masters. I hope you have kept up the good work, and are still enjoying it. God bless.

I've been a carpenter for 28 years and I've notched my share of wood. The carpenters in the video are masters at wood work. I have nothing but respect for all of them and I say to them great job and please always pass it on to keep it going for as long as possible...

[@uknow7236]

I agree I’m a carpenter for 13 years these are inspirational craftsmen for sure 👍🏻

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@uknow7236 Lucky you. My dad was, and he hated being one, wich rubbed off on me. A minute ago I think I understood, where the real problem was - the narcissist garbage hated everything, where he wasn't a hero - meaning everything in the world.. As if "anyone" sane can hate, working with clean non poisonous natural materials, and doing real high class craftings.

[@ivanichtanuel1681]

[@michaelsummerell8618]

One of the many things I like about Japanese culture, is that in a world full of cutting edge technology and progression, the artisan crafts still have a very important place and are widely revered. The Japanese have a definite appreciation for hand crafted goods which we seem to have lost in the west.

[@gh1896]

Its also still really traditional in that you have to apprentice under someone and wont be considered competent to even be left alone until youve been an apprentice for at least 10 years

[@markpaul8927]

I have always admired Japanese culture and noticed the structures that are built are more than just the building... They are a work of brilliance and in the art world each a masterpiece... A temple reflecting both craftsmanship and wonder using both carpentry skills and knowledge of sculpting abilities... Be blessed !

I think their work makes them happy and bring satisfaction. It'll surely be the case for me. Thank you

[@absw6129]

As a furniture maker, I've had some exchanges with woodworkers trained in sashimono. Even though it's not my area of expertise, I have found myself incorporating more and more of their no glue/no screws techniques. It makes the construction last longer, as it allows the wood to expand and contract with differences in moisture content.

[@Dtt4]

Bingo!

[@qturn4726]

Ultimate wood work ....really amazing

[@robertqueberg4612]

I have spent all of my seventy two years in and around an old timber framed barn on our family’s farm.There are still scribe marks for the various joint cuts. I have always been amazed at how true craftsmen can walk to the woods to select the materials for a project that will out live his children and possibly his grandchildren. This video shows true intense concentration and dedication to a purpose. Congratulations to all of the people who are still willing to work hard at improving the world.

[@edes647]

So wonderful to see how passionate and professional yet easy looking ( because passionated and professional ) they can build such beautiful things without any additional materials. Huge respect to such a high level craftmanship! Satisfying to watch! :-)

[@chrismoody1342]

My father returning from WW2. serving in Asia brought home a hand carved cigarette dispenser. He said the gentleman that made it snatched up the crating material that American forces were discarding were like gold to him. Yeah the dispenser was small and somewhat insignificant to the undiscerning eye but was a master piece of cabinet making on a tiny scale. Being somewhat of a carpenter myself, now I could watch this endlessly. Some of the joinery is mindblowing in complexity. We can all agree these people are artisans of the highest order. What I would give to actually live and work in a shop like any of these.

everyone knows most of these skills were invented by ancient chinese carpenters，but japan just sounds better since hollywood chooses it to represent oriental cultures these days, so let it be, it's better for marketing. as for china, they surely have no tradition n taste, they steals tech from other countries, no doubt.

Love the video! I have always been immensely impressed with Japanese Wood Joiner. Suggestion if I may. You highlight things in the video and then put the Kanji name up on the screen. Most people would not understand the Kanji and not know what it is that the characters mean. I know that not all Japanese words have English equivalents, but where possible, putting the Kanji and it related English word, might be better.
