The process of deconstructing a 93-year-old Kominka (traditional house) in Saitama, Japan for it to be relocated to Yamanashi.
The relocated structure now welcomes visitors as the “Chair Laboratory”, a museum with approximately 250 chairs on display.

It's so beautiful. I feel envy (and sadness) that I will never experience the feeling of being part of a team that works with traditional Japanese houses, archetectur, wood working techniques and Japanese art work in any form. But I am thankful for your uploads 🙏 本当にありがとう

I was feeling sorry for not being a part of their incredible experience…and now I see I am not alone in feeling that way! Life is a trip sometimes . At least we get to experience through Mr. Dylan Iawakuni the joy of kominka, patching woods, plus watching his videos. In all, life is good. Happy New Year everyone 🥂🙇🏼‍♀. Peace 💫

This feels so good to watch. To see old work respected, cared for, and reused in a responsible and non-destructive way. It makes something deep inside just heave a sigh of relief and contentment.

I deeply admire the care everyone is taking for the house and themselves (I'm glad everyone's wearing their hard hats and safety lines). It must be such an honor to be a part of this project, and I hope you all feel immense pride in doing such a good job. Thank you for a beautiful video, with beautiful music and a beautiful message. I look forward to seeing more!

What a treasure of creativity and workmanship! The square and plumb exterior encases a veritable tapestry of woven beams in the attic! It is a temple honoring the trees that provided the material. It seems the intent was to make the ground floor framing from straightened and squared timbers and then utilize the natural logs for the roof framing, creating a feeling of looking up into a forest canopy. Incredible imagination and technical joinery was required to use those materials in that manner and the effect is amazing! Thanks for making the superb video and sharing the experience. Your video is an inspiration and important archive that I will have to watch several times to fully appreciate the artistic subtleties of this building!

That main beam is magnificent, may it hold up for decades more! It must cost way more to move this house than to build a new one, this family must truly treasure this house. I am glad the old house now begins a new life as a museum. I look foward to see this building one day.

It's amazing that this structure is in such good shape despite how old it may be (presumably); such meticulous detail and care. I wish I would have discovered your channel a little earlier, when I first arrived to Yamaguchi. I've been so inspired by everything Japanese - to the point that I will be implementing some of these techniques in the near future back home. Thanks for posting your videos and providing inspiration.

I studied engineering and used to build houses this size in the US. What I see here is so completely different: different materials, different methods. Obviously it holds up, but I can't understand mathematically how (only because it's so different from anything I have studied before). I'm sure Japanese engineers understand it.

I enjoyed 2 trips to Japan, as a guest artist, and both times I came home in awe of the beauty in all of your works. After decades of life humbling my dreams, I am preparing to build a home and workshop. I certainly want to incorporate the natural beauty and genius that Japan has taught to me in my works. It's wonderful seeing the joinery and techniques used in the structure. Thank you so much for all that you share.
