Building Without Nails Is The Genius Of Japanese Carpentry

Some Japanese buildings have stood 1000 years and not a single nail, screw or bolt was used in their construction.

In a documentary interviewing one of the few remaining practitioners of this seemingly lost art of carpentry, an old Japanese master craftsman exclaims “No bolts, no nails. It lasts longer!”.

Proudly claiming its effectiveness that no one would be able to argue against its success in the form of several majestic towering temples all over Japan still standing to this day.
