In Japan, Repairing Buildings Without a Single Nail - YouTube


In Japan, buildings have been made only by trees over 1000 years ago. Since 1000 years ago the technology to deal with iron was immature, technology to build buildings with trees developed.

In order to build a building with only trees, it is necessary to connect and bond wood by all means. Ancient Japanese carved wood in a shape like a puzzle ... ...

It created technology to connect timber to one by snapping in. In this way, "traditional Japanese technology" that combines and fixes wood without using a hook is "wooden".

It is " Miya Daiko " like Mr. Takahiro Matsumoto who inherits technology to make building using the tree structure.

Matsumoto Takahiro serves as a director " Matsumoto Shrine Temple Construction " is still in Kamakura city, Kanagawa prefecture, where numerous Zen temples and shrines remain.

Miya carpenter is the task of establishing and restoring shrines and temples.

Miya Daigaku makes buildings with wood worked using the technique of "tree", "kumitei", "jutsu".

Wooden buildings need to be restored from about 150 years to 200 years.

Mr. Matsumoto thinks that "The technology called wooden framework is supposed to remove only a part of the building and repair it."

Mr. Matsumoto used to be a carpenter, but while I was interested in the building law of the shrine temples, I learned that Miya carpenter was a totally different occupation from normal carpenters.

Miya carpenter needs advanced technology and learns "technology inherited from the ancestors" from the building left by the predecessors.

"I go to a shrine or go to a temple at any time."

"So, I am proud of having the feeling of" being protected by God and Buddha "and spiritual support of" I am serving God Buddha " "

Matsumoto says that "Our ancestors have been doing what, what we were trying to communicate, we learn from it", the movie will be closed.
