I've been a somewhat successful ballet dancer, though now I find myself living in relative obscurity asking myself difficult questions. I've built the granny shack I live in with my dad, and try to achieve harmony with nature as best I can, it's difficult, especially in the sprawl of california. Watching this has made me feel so much better tonight. I can't wait to show my father this video, I'm sure he will enjoy it very much. Wabi Sabi, i've got to remember that, thanks for sharing!

dude this is history this is AWSOME ( shame it will be lost over time :( )

great cool video Chris :-)

Why on earth is this not a PBS series right now? I would watch.

Chris I have heard of this somewhere before. Wasn't this put on DVD? I gotta say though that Nature and Modern Society could get along, but Society doesn't want to put the time or money into it. This was a excellent show. I think you should do an Asia Uncensored but do it more on a whole Asia. This is definitely your calling. Keep it up!

I loved Japan, and you'll prob love Vancouver! They have a lot of rich people too

Good luck! You need wealthy clients for this kind of work, like the rich Chinese in Vancouver. This is not for the IKEA pine wood do-it-yourself crowd :)

remember to cut your trees today if you want to use them in 20 years.

Does Japanese loves China?

I love Japan, from childhood I was fascinated by Japanese culture, watching Japanese movies in Iran, I visited Japan finally this spring and I loved it even more, amazing country, built by very unique and superior culture and good people, best foods in the world. Loved it

Me too:D

I know right...

Same

Its the music lol

Oh easy, if not more. I was totally engrossed in this tbh

While Fukushima still leaks hundreds of gallons of radioactive waste into the ocean... Yeah love the hypocrisy there !

🌟You will be blessed to stick to the end🌟 Speaking of history, the majority of Japanese culture originally came from the Korean peninsula. (The ancient ancestors of Korean people, that are connected to the nomatic in Central Asia, had built a civilization predating that of the Han Chinese by 2,500 years.) About 500 years ago, the Japanese invaded the Korean peninsula like the predatory Vikings, and during the chaos of the bloody war, they kidnapped for example, a significant number of pottery artisan masters... (The Japanese had to withdraw back to their islands after experiencing a heavy blow by the superior navy of Korea (then called Chosun) that built the ships WITHOUT any nails. The Japanese used nails for their ship building which is disadvantageous when firing the cannons.) The Japanese emperor who abdicated his throne to his son not too long ago, confessed that he is a descendant of an ancient royal dynasty family from the Korean peninsula. Just a few historical FACTS that the Japanese are not too excited about disclosing... Oh, here's one more Fact relevant to China Uncensored: Suring the 36-year Japanese colonial occupation of the Korean peninsula (1910~1945), the imperialistic Japanese government turned one of the royal palaces in Seoul, Korea into a zoo. Can you imagine the the Buckingham palace or the White House being treated like that?! What is even WORSE is that for decades now the predatory CCP (Chinese Communist Party) has been using the traitorous Pro-China mainstream media in Korea, exploiting this painful history for Koreans in its schemes to colonize the Korean peninsula, by weakening the Korean-Japanese partnership that is disadvantageous to the CCP's predatory schemes!!! How? By brainwashing Koreans with Pro-China propaganda, hiding/minimizing the destructive effects of the Chinese in Korean history, while enraging Korean psyche with exaggerating and or fabricating history and news reports, thus instilling deep seated anti-Japanese, Pro-China sentiment among Koreans.

​@@jonmartindeiii962because white Americans are clueless

@@jonmartindeiii962the Chinese and Korean joinery for buildings are more simple in nature. This is due to Japan being more prone to seismic activities so the joinery must be crafted so that they withstand things like frequent eartquakes. The handcrafted furnitures just uses various implemented techniques that have been passed down generations and have gotten distinct charasteristics. Think of it as Japanese animation. Even though the animation was heavily influenced and inspired by US, no one calls anime style as American.

But at the same time as everybody can afford furniture because of IKEA, something unique is being lost. If rich people keep up the old traditions I don't see anything wrong with that. The money could be also used in a worse way (for instance to buy gold-plated faucets etc...).

@@coffeebeann1: Are you a religious person?

Cartooniverse Thought provoking material is an absolutely critical threat to those who benefit so much from the current status quo. That's why psychedelics are illegal. It's why TV is chock full of scripted nonsense so ironically labeled as "reality" TV, it's why everything is "politicalized" these days and thought is funneled and limit into to one of two main, flawed ways of thinking. All of it is in an attempt to prevent new, outside concepts from threatening that status quo, and "we the people" are tricked into supporting it all against our own best interests. Then any time a new "grass roots" movement or idea pops up, it's either a fraudulent "astro-turf" movement, or its quashed and crushed by popular culture to prevent its success. For those who benefit so immensely from the rest of us suffering the current status quo, provoking serious through is tantamount to a kind of snowballing suicide that would get out of their control very quickly.

This show just lies to you... Did you know that almost all temples in Japan replace every single piece of timber every twenty years? That is part of the Shinto-Buddhism religion. That traditional wooden Japanese houses have no value in Japan after 20 years and have to be destroyed and rebuilt. An untreated piece of wood can last 1000 years... I’ll believe that when hell freezes over... I’ve seen companies destroy their modern building and build an exact duplicate building because it was over 20 years old. It is really wasteful, and that practice has been curbed for non-religious buildings in Japan. Yes the carpentry is nice, but there are a whole range of aesthetics of Japanese art you could go into like Wabisabi, this whole minimalist/ old ways are better crap is just utter nonsense to make a show look better without being very knowledgeable on the subjects.

@@sparkforce9975 ?????????????????????

There are a lot of contradictory points in this about the clientele, but I think the end of the understanding is that these are made by master craftsman; possibly the last of their kind, and it only will cost more as life goes on. But also, these will last you a life time, and you can pass them down from generation to generation, since they hold up in natural conditions, imagine in your home... And your kids home, and your grandchildren's home, and your great grandchildren's home.

true, we do need simple things, its complicated in its own way but we cant see it when we are always surrounded by things that seem complicated in appearance

Soooo it would've been less said if an already dead tree fell naturally, potentially falling on the owner's house, than simply cutting it down and felling it in a controlled direction?

Did you even try to understand my point ? I just pointed out that it was sad that this 300 year old tree was dead. Nothing less nothing more. Now a days very few such trees exist which are centuries old and that is the reason for my sadness. I am not sad that it was felled i was sad that it was dead. P.S. it should be sad not said

sorry I was confused by your use of the english language when you said "the part where they cut AND fell the tree made me cry" "and old tree AND cut down was a real shame." I understand your point now

Please do! My Dad is the same way. Let me know what he thinks.

***** He loved it :) Thank you for this video and for replying.

I had talked to the Japanese Master for hours.... he smiled and nodded and then replied simply.... "no speak English". Just kidding. He actually said "better no speak, better to listen"....

It's worth every penny saved/spent, every second on the plane, and every last bit of jet lag you get when you come home. Japan was amazing. I stayed in Narita and ventured north (I went for martial arts training) to Kashiwa, then Noda-shi (NOT Noda! Two different places!). The train stop in Nodashi was Edogawadai, to be exact.

Don't dream. Make plans and GO.

They are so xenophobic though. Plus the weeaboos....

believe me, they certainly do not need to advertise....

believe me, they certainly do not need to advertise....

They said nothing about history or that in the context of japan they focused 100% on that company in NY

Divert both. If I had the tools and space I’d try to make furniture etc. myself. But I think I’m one of the few who rather make myself than buy.

Definitely a good question, I was expecting some history of craftsmanship on those majestic Japanese building.

As well as Architecture characteristics shōji, tatami mats,fusuma,engawa and so much more is also of Japanese origin. Also Japan has influence that are not of Chinese or even Asian origin two examples would be Karuta and tempera originating from the Portuguese.

@@eagle162 the thumbnail shows Yakushiji Temple which is an exact replica of the temple built in Tang Dynasty china, how cuz the monk who designed it copied it and studied buddhism in china kabuki is invented by some lady, which in that time another type of similar dancing has taken root the Noh(imported and originated from china), I could just go on and on but there are very unique Japanese creation like himeji castle and Osaka castle, but please don't discredit the original who provide base for their culture it's very insulting

@@angelabby2379 I mentioned Buddhist architecture already. Noh and Kabuki are extremely different from one another,and noh didn't taken root during that time, the exact origin of Noh isn't even sure about with people having a few different schools of thoughts, one of them has part of it's origin from entertainment from China but also have the other part from native Japanese entertainment. I wasn't trying nor did I disrespect anybody, I was trying do to show that one's culture taken taking influence from another does not mean one is an exact copy of one or it was one-sided,or has influence from only one place, that said however no ,no one provide a base for anybody's culture influences does not provide a base, there's also a lot of things that are not from China but some people think they are or have been disproven to be from there, China itself has a ton of things from other cultures, a lot which is unknown, dismissed by a lot of people, or is discussed about, nobody however is cleaning to have provide base.

@@eagle162 okay lets make it clear, china do take influence from other culture but its a very minor influence since they are influenced a lot from buddhism ( india) and their architectural can't be more different, they invent these things on their own, while japan copied it at first and then added changes to it, so they didn't invent it on their own, they invent the very minor changes And why i say bases, because u have the timeline all wrong, the osaka castle, himeji castle unique design is build around 1600, while heian kyo is in 800, so obviously there are changes based on the previous building technique ( tang dynasty in heian kyo period)

aka she had no money and wanted to marry a rich man so she can buy grossly overpriced crap and act all high and mighty about it.

@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou the table is not crap, maybe a bit overpriced but for sure not crap

@@gideonroos1188 honestly, yes it's expensive, but compare the amount of time, labor, and skill that goes into making that table compared to the time, labor, and skill that goes into making an equivalently sized ikea table... The property that he has to pay rent for to let that wood air dry isn't free either, so imagine paying rent on a property to just let wood sit and air dry for 5-10 years not being able to gain any income from it until it's dry. Also location wise because he's in new york which has a higher cost to live (more expensive rent), rather than someplace like say indiana or illinois where the cost of living is a lot lower (of course so are the wages in those states XD). So yes it is overpriced, but it is well understood why it costs a lot more

@@dwalters98 this sort of thing is why all the “traditional artisan skills” were usually reserved only for the wealthy. Nowadays everyone can wear jewelry or own a table, but it is made possible by these modern production techniques that sacrifice on quality to some extent. Everyone can wear jewelry, but it will be a cheap piece of glass.

@@dwalters98 just because you live in a higher rent area doesn’t mean it’s justifiable to upcharge for the same quality of work you can do anywhere. 80k for that table? it’s high quality but Is it really eighty thousand dollars of craft?

I liked the lumberjacks too.

@@robinvc5516 yeah them to XD

How antisemitic

LOLOL you do realize you just admitted that you hate jews right? Which is perfectly normal and ok, I would just like to make sure we're all on the same page.

I know you probably said this as a joke but I guarantee you that it works in reverse. There are people who say stuff like "Things would be better if I was american" or "I wish I was born with blue eyes" etc. It's a natural human action to blame who/what you are for your problems, framing them as inevitable, rather than blaming your actions, and accepting that conditions are able to change.

Lol! I like your humor.

Absolutely perfect and spot on response! As if anyone cares about their pretentious little fantasies. Now, let me tell you of my two past lives. I was once a sperm and an egg cell..., at the same time! Top that, delusional lady!

katie has officially earned the title incredible

All of the women in the video are Jewish, meaning they are of semitic middle eastern origin. Another words they are not white.

+Soon Bemat All countries in the world built their buildings without nails at some point because when you know how to do it right it's more convenient than buying nails or making them yourself. The focus of this video is Japan, so what's wrong with it? If you made a documentary about foot ball would you feel the need to cover ALL ball sports from ALL cultures around the world such as Chinese football, Korean, South Asian, American Indian and so on? Relax man, they have never said that other cultures could not do it.

chongtak I can't understand why are you angry. They said the genius of Japanese building without nails. So I wondered why are the japanese being genius? And i asked myself " Aren't all the east asian countries do it without nails?" So it is you who is mad. Not me.. ;D

Soon Bemat I can not understand why you think I am mad too. Big misunderstanding here.

Gary Oak +chongtak Ok , this is ridiculous. I don't have problem with the japanese and their homocide of the chinese. I don't have problem with them losing land to the fricking russians. I don't mind them being the most cultured people . I don't really care about the Japanese. All I wondered was why the Japanese were being called Genius??? So can you tell me. Why are they being called genius? If it's because of them building without nails? If so aren't all the east asian countries do that too?

Soon Bemat If you have no problem with all that things you have cited, why do you mention them in the first place?
