In this video, we are in the final stretches of completing the Kizami (刻み) (or carving) and Jigumi (地組) (or dry-fitting) for a new house build in Hayama, Japan. This new house will be 2-stories tall. I proceed with carving the remaining few joints in a Toshi Bashira (通し柱) or through pillar and the center portion of the Munagi (棟木) or ridge beam. After we finished carving the remaining few joints, we proceed with dry-fitting the beams together to confirm that they fit perfectly.
Soon we will be building up this house at the work site.
