My kitchen extension in Japan was built like this, amazing to watch the carpenters in action. Upvote for craftsmanship.

The joins work, but the order of the animation is definitely wrong. At least two would have parts magically passing through other objects.

A lot of these seem unnecessarily complicated.
Anonawesome
Most of them are completely impractical IRL. Even traditional Japanese woodworkers wouldn't use most of these methods.
obarey
It's pretty natural that woodworking was an important craft, and when you advance enough, some people turn it into art.
gameangel147
I'm confused as to what this can be applied to.
narwhalhosting
Wood.
narwhalhosting
On a more serious note though they built houses and boats with these joints. They last forever.
gameangel147
Wow, that's pretty cool! I guess they replace the need for nails?
narwhalhosting
Correct, you wouldn't need nails or screws. The other practical benefit of that is that you don't have to worry about rust or stripped holes

Dang, going to keep this one in mind. Thanks.

Ironically, there was no "wood" nation/tribe/whatever. Only the 4 classic elements + blood + lightning.
TrijezniMujo
there's a blood nation? the fuck? Avatar got hardcore.
TacticalPuke
Sorry, I wrote that wrong. There was no wood or lightning *nation*, but some individual mages or small schools.
TrijezniMujo
But yeh, it makes sense with no wood nation. Since the other nations are the metaphorical wood to be joined together by the one joiner

OK got you, wood is the UN of elements. Who wood have thought that.

AnkhVersace
I broke my arm and couldn't do the work so my teacher did mine while I watched, he forgot he did the work and graded me. Gave me a B for it.

Watched a girl pass out in wood shop she was on drugs and it was my first week at a new school...I knew nobody lol

Someone stole my woodshop project, teacher knew but because there was no proof gave me a 5 anyway and downmarked the theifs.

Way back in middle school a girl was on one of the saws and she wasn't looking where she was going. One less hand than she had before.
GhengisDon
japan relied on these techniques during its development due to the lack of iron in the country to make nails
PandaNinjaRawr
China and Korea used these techniques as well. They didn't lack iron though, it was just the way to build their structures.
SandpaperCock
also because these joinery techniques have more give to them than nails, it makes them an early form of earthquake proofing.
agumonkey
limitations foster creativity #paradoxofchoice
captbananapants
Joints in woodwork are held together with glue. The nails just give a more immediate join so the glue can dry.
notbakachan
In cabinetry, sure, but not when you're building the wood frame of a structure.

ArthurHastings
not just japan. Scandinavian countries have long traditions of building without the use of nails or screws. Just using sturdy wood joints1/2
ArthurHastings
There are old ass cool looking norwegian churches that were built with no use of nails or screws at all either. 2/2
HighwayStar
Yet somehow they NAILED IT!
AgentFour
Why can't I use this technique then, in Civ? I don't wanna trade 30g a turn for iron!
BronzeLeaguePro
Nah, they had iron bro. But nails were incredibly expensive in most places until the industrial revolution.
GhengisDon
also why basically, the only metal things in their warfare until contact with the "western world" were the swords.
Wabbadabba
Holy shit I never thought of it like that
tinyginy
waiwode
And the armour. Because they had metal armour too.
AlexHurlbut
"Full Plate" armor was really rare, at best you had a plate cuirass. Most of the armor was lamellor, series of small plates tied together.
waiwode
Not every warrior had a big late-era daimyo-style museum piece. Gotcha. But head, chest, shoulder, & thigh armour were present, and iron.
AlexHurlbut
Yes, the Lamellar style used was very good because it served to prevent the metal, if it used that, from rusting by resin layers covering it
rumandbass
I don't believe most of their armor was made of metal.
waiwode
That is an interesting belief. It isn't really supportable, at least by Sengoku Jidai. The ashigaru "commoners" might have used leather, 1/2
waiwode
2/2 but the samurai used metal. There was iron and there was trade with the mainland for more. Iron was low grade, it wasn't "the new gold."
Machiavellianism
Maybe they importing iron from china and korea,then make it with into sword.
Machiavellianism
Well they could simply import nail from china too but maybe if you use wood its easy to disassemble.
TicklerOfFancies
Also why despite common belief Samurai were actually bow experts more so than sword experts
TunkkisOfFinland
Well, there were bows, spears and swords.
SoraHjort
There is also a common belief that Samurai were honorable, and Ninja were dishonorable. Spoiler: It was the other way around.
babybirdhome
Don't know a lot of the actual history, but wouldn't that depend on the particular definition of "honorable"?
TheYoungBear
see Extra History's Sengoku Jidai series
jetsetskyking
Ninjas fought oppressive lords or worked for hire. One version is honorable. Samurai had military codes of honor. Very subjective.
SoraHjort
Samurai worked for whoever could pay them the most, betrayals weren't uncommon. Ninja for the most part protected their lords honor bound.

*Arquebusiers, aqua means water, an arquebus is the precursor to the musket.
strugglesnuggler
And the reason they spent so long making a complicated blade is because they had really crappy iron to work with.
GethDreadnought
While their iron did come from sand, didn't they refine it to a high purity?
chaoko99
You could snap a diamond rod with your bare hands.
chaoko99
Purity doesn't explicitly mean sturdiness. High purity iron is hard, not tough. Hardness and toughness have a bell curve relation really.
GethDreadnought
Sure. Just didn't think that the iron was as crappy assnuggler suggested
pacobedejo
Whereas Europeans simply hammered the nearest rock into a better quality sword.
Ionbound
I mean, for cutting apart a peasant I'd rather have a Japanese sword. European swords were more like metal clubs because of plate armor.
Veradux
Common misconception! Swords were not commonly brought against plate armor, but rather maces, picks, and hammers. European swords were 1/2
Tsumino79
they spent so long to turn that crappy iron into less crappy iron japanese swords are not made of shit metal beacuse they de shitted it
GrizzlyWicks
they did the best they could but the steel was still much weaker than European swords of the time
Tsumino79
might have been a little bit but not by much they did some really good work in de shitting the metal to get some good shit
easyentropy
Well, I think they nailed it.
hereforcake
Ugh, no they didn't. Didn't you read the post?

DaddyWolf
Ironically, you may have missed the joke.
JohnnyTwoStreams
The tolerance between joints also allow structures to handle earthquakes effectively unlike metal beams, which would bend and collapse.
CirB
Just metal nails would be far weaker in case of an earthquake compared to these joints.
imp00ping
And if they ever did fall apart it was easy to replace or rebuild
JohnnyTwoStreams
It is even a tradition to take down the Ise Jingu shrine every 20 years and rebuild it.

So that's why that fucking arch thing survived an atomic bomb

But can they resist jet fuel ha!? I know for a fact that steel beams do. (Very interesting btw)

The downside being that Japanese cities were EXTREMELY susceptible to fire.

And atoms be ripped apart, that one's a real doozy.

Even before the industrial revolution, the capital burned twice. Street vendors weren't allowed to use fire and sushi became popular.

That doesn't look like it's made of wood. Are these joints used in steel also?
CoachAlex
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about Japanese-wood-bringer-togethery to dispute it.
CanadianLadyMoose
Think of it like this: wood is flexible like jello. Iron is rigid like a house of cards. Which one collapses when you shake the table? :P
TacticalPuke
(1) The key difference is that the cards are not joined together, while the jello is -- sort of. Use some glue, and the cards survive, too.
TacticalPuke
(2) Also, the cards have quite low inertia, which helps, too if you join them well. Wood is lighter than metal/concrete, so low inertia too.
CanadianLadyMoose
It was an exaggerated metaphor to describe the difference in flexibility in building materials, I do hope you didn't think I meant the /1
CanadianLadyMoose
metaphor in a literal way. It's just a description to help people wrap their heads around that difference, nothing more. :) /2
