Get The Best Woodworking Projects & Plans for Everything You Can Imagine!
We've become aware of the brilliant "technology" made use of in ancient times to build imposing monuments with nothing greater than primitive tools like stones as well as ropes. The Egyptian pyramids of old is a fantastic example.
Back in the much east, Japan had plenty to offer the ancient world too when it involved resourceful inventions and crafts. Typical Japanese Carpenters built houses, holy places, as well as castles, without using nails, screws, or bolts.
In a documentary speaking with one of the few remaining professionals of this apparently lost art of carpentry, an old Japanese master craftsman says loudly "No bolts, no nails. It lasts longer!". Happily declaring its efficiency that no person would certainly have the ability to refute its success through a number of impressive imposing temples throughout Japan still standing to now.
After going through rough weather and clashes of changes in people for more than a thousand years. However with the bold declaration comes a clear understanding that the success to this art isn't because they made it to withstand "versus" nature, rather, it is everything about being "with" nature.
Removaling his livelihood to New York and sharing his art kind of old Japanese wood working to the globe, Isao Hanafusa, co-owner of Miya Shoji, has actually sculpted himself a distinct particular niche in the open market of the providing industry.
Seek and also admired by New Yorkers desiring that accept with nature in their indoor decor with a design and also resilience in workmanship that can not be equaled by most factory produced options.
All furniture choices in Miya Shoji display rooms are hand crafted, even the kinds wood made use of in all his crafts are hand selected by Hanafusa himself. Isao Hanafusa was a grad of Industrial Revolution researches which he mentions has produced numerous wonders for the modern-day globe, but its cool machinery has also unfortunately exterminated specific talent that is supposed to stay in artisans.
To today, he declines criticisms of his approaches being needlessly old fashioned, since with all the vibrant talk of highly innovative devices as well as approaches made use of in modern day construction work, the Hanafusa family members thinks a thousand years worth of skill refinement and also proficiency should not be gotten rid of for mass production ease.
Neither is it mosting likely to back down from the competition that their crafts will last also longer compared to stiff concrete as well as metal frameworks for the easy fact they are not designed to resist against the pressure of mother nature, however to deal with her.
If only the Japanese would extend their philosophy to living creatures e.g.
Whales, Dolphins, Tuna etc. then I could really respect their culture.
Nah, the cause is survival.
+Broseph Stalin What about the waste we produce? Worldwide it’s millions of
tons of food and products that weren’t sold so it gets discarded for the
sole reason of making a profit. “I have food but you don’t have money, so I
throw the food away” is that surviving?
+Skæbnesvanger
I agree with you there. Due to our economic system there is a lot of waste.
+Skæbnesvanger
Yeah survival has nothing to do with it. The stores/supermarkets throw
perfectly good edible food out everyday & lock the bins so not even the
homeless can eat it.
Eating meat has nothing to do with survival, interesting…
This is a great advertisment. And these people need help.
So much writing for a completely invented character – Jesus, the Bible…
just a novel. Wait a thousand years and the new-new-Testament will talk
about the Prophet Harry Potter.
+Borja Etxebarria — I care not one wit about your insulting and self
centered opinion. You think your so smart? I hardly doubt that you will be
around to have any idea if your right about your bonehead theory. Because
you don’t understand nor do you believe… You most certainly are not going
to be here in just a few years… Much less a thousand of them. :-I
+Dean O. – Thank you.
i would love to do this kind of work all day.
Dave McKay agreed work here now is just meh….no Talent no passion hand
work none of that
Dave McKay yea
It really is unfortunate. I can see the point in selling to the masses, but
to forget true craftsmanship, what really WORKS through the ages, is a
bummer. I will continue to learn and pass on as much as I can!
Right? Not getting griped at to ‘hurry up’ and no on snapping fingers or
clapping, spouting tired cliches like ‘Time is money!’ There’s a reason
this culture has lasted as long as it has and America is struggling to
maintain its place after barely 200 years
Dave McKay same
Traditional craftsmanship is fantastic, but it is VERY elitist. Not
everyone can afford to own it. Mass production may be less attractive, but
a factory-built table is better than no table at all!
+Flimbo nimbo I live in europe, no walmart 🙂
I noticed they never said how much this giant table costs. Probably because
most people would cry when they hear $10,000.
+MetusBatmanV4
Yeah most ppl will never own a table as this unless they have a nice tree
in the backyard that they can slab themselves..
More like 100,000
all i see is a bunch of rich white people who are obsessed with japanese
culture. middle aged weeaboo’s
Billiam Skilliam alright bud fair enough
FYI basically everything you own took thousands of years to be ready. Im
assuming you actually know what fossil fuels are or how plastic and rubber
products are made and come from?
Billiam Skilliam You got hem good what a great point you make
Is it impossible for Americans to make films without padding, drivel,
background sounds, irrelevant stuff, nodding heads, irrelevant pictures,
snatches of music, idiotic talking heads, silly voiceovers, views of towns,
landscapes etc etc etc? Why not just say what you have to say – if
anything??
+Dolan Tramp You’re not facing facts. This video is supposed to convey
information. For people who want to know things, US jew film garbage is
the model exactly NOT to follow.
+rerevisionist lol It *is* on YouTube though. I come to expect trash like
this. You can go on a website similar to Wiki or watch a real documentary
if you’re looking for factual information with no distractions. Idk where,
but i know they’re out there.
+Leonard Yeezus – you’re clearly a literary critic
rerevisionist the background music always makes me less interested in a
video. For some reason it makes me doubt the knowledge of what I’m hearing.
if you want simplicity, why not be an amish?
+Levi Paladin It’s a kilt, laddy, and I rather enjoy the circulation.
+Cernnunos5 Well then. Happy to oblige, I guess. 😉
Because Amish ain’t cool like Japanese
Can’t make pancakes without the chickens and cows.
I would have liked less yuppy Chosenites and more of the actual craft…..
but whatever…
+misb lamp Yeah, I’ve always found that very odd too. We all have been
told so many lies…. :-/
+Robert Lock
Khazars lived north of caucasus. May be thats why ?
Really, these white guys are khazars? as you pointed out?
Is there evidence of this?
+misb lamp
None other than their looks and accent. I could be wrong….. it is
possible… ;)))
well, this was a disappointment. i was expecting this to be about how they
do their incredible work, not how some aging yuppies are trying to “get
back to nature.”
What in the world are you talking about? The video showed cutting the tree,
making slabs, air-drying the wood, cutting the joints, mortising the
joints, legs with dowels and ON and ON.
Yes waste
if you paid attention you would see thats exactly what it was about. aside
from the grandiose testament of the “western world” individuals.
those yuppies are about to get back to nature, literally 🙂
We agree with you….most this video was presenting mysticism-type
philosophies and other personal ways of obtaining some type of balance with
nature and the ying yang instead of showing more of the actual techniques
used by them to make their furniture and such
ikea can probably make 100 tables from all that saw dust.
+DarthVagrant Saurette you know… I sort of doubt the likeliness that
theirs a piece of furniture somewhere, intact, and older than the oldest
tree that ever waz… but that’s just me
Ikea tables are made from saw dust…
yes but for some reason people think there the best thing since sliced
bread, and like the lines, I think they look soulless and plain, and ugly
yet everyone thinks Scandinavian things are the greatest in the world and a
league of their own, and they might be good fishermen, steel makers, and
have advanced societies electronically and in the sciences, as well as cell
phones and oil rigs as well as ship building, but some of the stuff is just
plain jane and hideous if you ask me specially their furniture, ikea
included.
yes and a lot of glue .. where else did you think multiplex was made out of
?
Tom Jacobs LOL
babyboomers buying culture. nice. Japanese carpenter with amazing skills is
glad to sell you a $15k table.
morelli tech exactly what I was thinking. looks like a damn good table
though
most of these dudes speak English well the subtitles are mostly unnecessary
The subs are actually pretty necessary for the old guy with the white beard.
Platypuff how can’t you understand that dude… don’t you ever call
customer service?
+Reggie Hartig the guy says like 4 words every 20 seconds. Idk how you
understand him without any subs.
Do you think thats fast or slow I don’t understand
the world would be so easy if Ikea furniture was made like this
ilias 2405 house in a box
I think the host would make a fantastic Matrix Agent, he’s like son of
Smith.
Son of smith with Down syndrome lol
I was literally about to comment about him looking like Agent Smith. He
even sounds like him. lol
“Son of Smith” I like it haha
why is everyone all triggered and mad lol
pooper t Because people are stupid
I suddenly have the urge to build a table at 2 am
lol
