Building a Japanese - American House - Tatemae Day 1 - Timber framing with Japanese Joinery

In this video, we are doing another Tatemae, however, this time it is for a Japanese - American family. This house is an interesting build due to its size. The rooms are a little bigger than normal to accommodate a large Japanese-American family. You will see some interesting joinery throughout day 1 of this house raising. We learn about certain joints that are more suitable due to their strength and design for certain areas of the house. The foundation of this house is made from Japanese Cypress - Hinoki and the majority of the timber framing above that is Japanese Cedar - Sugi. All the wood in this house is naturally dried which is unusual for modern times. Naturally drying wood has a lot of benefits which most come in the way of the strength of the cellular structure within the wood. Rapidly drying wood in a kiln can create fractures that are hidden which can compromise a structure, however, when you naturally dry wood you allow the wood to develop its own cracks and also maintain its own natural strength. This house was built with longevity in mind. With the added design aspects of larger joinery and bigger beam selection it would be great to see this house 100 to 200 years from now. We hope you enjoy this video. #japanesejoinery #japanesecarpentry #carpentrylife #thecarpentrylife #build #timberframe #大工 #japanesewoodworking
