  • I can tell you why:

    1. This construction can be disassembled and repaired without destroying it.

    2. The joints are extremely flexible. This is important when you have to live with earthquakes.

    Your way of thinking is short, brutal and often idiotic. Adhesives have no lifetime. The joints presented here will last hundreds of years. If seen houses in my country build in 1800 completely from wood without nails, screws and adhesives. They're still usable. Modern ones are crap after 50 years

  • i can see you´re passionate about your work and I respect that. and your right, so my apologies if I attacked your methods. all the best to you

    In Japan this is just one example of how professions such as this are thought of as forms of art, Quality lives Thank you My admiration for your work cannot be put into words. Rob From Canada

  • the title of the music please?

  • gr8 :-)

  • Lovely work guys I think my only other comment would be you can siill cut traditional joints but with modern tools e.g. morticing machine. Would defo speed things up.

  • @WolYou There is one other reason why they don't use screws and nails; in areas where there is a big difference in waterlevel they can't simply use it because metal pieces will not last for long if every now and then the water level rises.

  • I love the Kabuki music.

  • The first thing I think after seeing things like this is: Who was the first man who drawn this? Its genius!
