Repairing a 100 Year Old Japanese House - Traditional Japanese Carpentry - Part 1
We are in Kamakura, Japan in this video. We are working on repairing a 100 year old house with a thatched roof (Kayabuki). First, we have to work on repairing the foundation before other repairs can be done. Due to decades of weathering and water intrusion this house has suffered from rotting pillars and foundation beams. We are systematically and carefully repairing pillars with new Hinoki connections called Netsugi. This is a vertically installed Kanawatsugi joint. Other joints are used in the process of repairing this house such as Obiki, Okakedaisentsugi, and others.
This process is difficult requiring a solid understanding and ability to carve the joints vertically and in place. #woodworking #japanesewoodworking #carpentrylife Videographers and Editing: Kaori / Garrett
