00:00The wagon headed to Bulgaria, the capital of Sofia, where overseas IT companies are concentrated.
00:10It is also called Silicon Valley in Eastern Europe, and has been developing economically in recent years.
00:18It takes about an hour and a half to drive a wagon from Sofia.
00:25It's like a mountain.
00:27It's like we're in the countryside.
00:33The craftsmen have come to Grogene village, located in the mountains.
00:41Unlike the capital Sofia, it is a small village that remains the old-fashioned cityscape of Bulgaria, as if time had stopped.
00:51The minimum temperature in winter is below minus 10 degrees Celsius.
01:00The wagon goes to the client.
01:05It's cold.
01:07There is an old Hirayadate.
01:23Thank you for coming all the way from Japan.
01:28Please come in.
01:33What is this facility?
01:37It's a kindergarten.
01:48This is a kindergarten.
01:5127 children from 2 to 7 years old go to this kindergarten.
01:56It is the only nursery facility in this area.
02:01The kindergarten is quite old-fashioned.
02:07There is not even a kindergarten in the kindergarten.
02:17I don't have a budget, so I can't spend much money on the facility.
02:23I'm in a lot of trouble.
02:27A kindergarten in a small village.
02:31What kind of problems are they facing?
02:35The children are guided to a room where they can take a nap.
02:46This is where they take a nap.
02:50The artisans' expressions were frozen for a moment.
02:56The scene that spread before their eyes.
03:00That is...
03:05A bed that fills the entire room.
03:10There are only 18 beds for 27 people.
03:15Do all 27 children sleep in this bedroom?
03:21That's right.
03:23There is no other room, so everyone sleeps here.
03:28This is what it looks like.
03:3127 children sleep in this room.
03:36Because there are not enough beds,
03:39they sleep in one bed.
03:50It's hard for the teacher to look after the children.
03:56And...
03:59Our kindergarten is small,
04:03so there are only a few rooms that can be used.
04:09This is a village in the Bulgarian Gokkan.
04:16Even the empty rooms are filled with firewood, so they can't be used.
04:22This is the layout of the kindergarten.
04:25The classroom is a single room and a storage room for firewood.
04:31This is the only room where they can take a nap.
04:35And...
04:37The beds they use are quite old.
04:40The steel pipe beds are from the Second World War.
04:45They are already worn out.
04:50Especially the steel beds are cold,
04:53and the legs are wobbly.
04:57Japan is a country that makes good use of small spaces,
05:04so we will do our best to make a good bedroom.
05:17The first problem is the nap room filled with beds.
05:23In fact, there is an even more serious problem with this nap room.
05:37What was there was...
05:40a stove with flames coming out.
05:46There is no fence to prevent children from approaching.
05:53If they touch it, they will get burned.
06:00Because the room is small, the distance between the bed and the stove is close.
06:06They can't take a nap in peace.
06:11The second problem is a stove that is extremely dangerous.
06:19There are still more problems.
06:22The other thing I want you to fix is this locker.
06:30It's quite old.
06:34Can you fix it?
06:40He also wants the locker in front of the classroom to be fixed.
06:50What Imai noticed was the paper sandwiched between the doors.
06:54If I don't put this paper in between, the door won't close.
07:03I want to give each child a locker,
07:07but there aren't many lockers.
07:10Most of them are broken, so they can't be used.
07:16There are 27 children.
07:19On the other hand, there are 22 lockers.
07:25It's broken, but it's not enough.
07:29Children without lockers have no choice but to put their luggage in the open space of the classroom.
07:38There are plans to increase the number of lockers next year.
07:41Imai wants a locker that can be used.
07:48How will the Japanese craftsmen deal with these problems?
07:57Because the kindergarten is small, they rent an open space next door and bring in wood.
08:08The first Japanese craftsman to participate in the nap room is Kawahara.
08:19Kawahara is 9 years old, 6 years old, and 2 years old.
08:23He is the father of three children.
08:26Kawahara challenges the biggest problem of the kindergarten.
08:32The request is a bed for 27 people in the nap room.
08:39There is only three days until the kindergarten closes.
08:51He concentrates on making the bed without taking a break.
09:01Kawahara continues to make the bed.
09:06And what did he make?
09:09I tried to make it into a certain shape.
09:12I thought I could do it in one-half space.
09:19Kawahara makes a warm wooden double-deck bed.
09:26However, Kawahara made only one double-deck bed that day.
09:32Will he be able to make 27 double-deck beds in one day?
09:47Kawahara speeds up his work.
09:55First, he makes the parts and assembles them at once.
10:00There are a lot of parts.
10:04What is this for?
10:06This is for the frame of the bed.
10:09Do you need this much?
10:11This is only enough for two double-deck beds.
10:16Do you have to make so much?
10:20Kawahara can't make it in time.
10:26Then...
10:33Suddenly, men appear.
10:39My daughter is a graduate student here.
10:42I'll be happy to help you.
10:46Actually, Kawahara was talking to the graduate students
10:50to ask them to help him.
10:56He doesn't have time.
10:58He explains how to make the parts of the bed.
11:09My daughter is in the same age group as Kawahara.
11:14Kawahara carefully considers the safety of his daughter.
11:19He starts to make something indispensable for the double-deck bed.
11:25That is...
11:28a ladder.
11:31It is said that it is made very sturdy by Japanese technology.
11:45The wood is processed in a strange shape with a protrusion.
11:50I make a groove so that the ladder can't be pulled out.
11:59The groove is a technique that combines a groove hole and a protrusion.
12:04It is also called a groove joint.
12:08He made a protrusion to connect it firmly.
12:19But there is a crack.
12:24He makes a hole in the protrusion.
12:35And when he puts the wood together...
12:40He makes a hole in the protrusion.
12:51He made a hole in the protrusion.
12:55What is this?
12:57This is a split joint.
12:59The protrusion is widened by splitting it.
13:02So the wood can't be pulled out.
13:05The split joint is a technique where a crack is made in the protrusion...
13:10and a force is applied to widen the joint to make it harder to pull out.
13:17Considering the safety of his daughter, he doesn't use nails.
13:22He uses Japanese technology to make a sturdy ladder.
13:27The next day.
13:31The local skates are getting used to the work.
13:35They assemble the double-deck beds one after another.
13:42And then...
13:44He drills a hole in the pillar of the completed double-deck bed.
13:53Oh?
13:54Kawahara drills a hole in the pillar of the completed double-deck bed.
14:02Here, too.
14:06He drills a hole here, too.
14:11This is said to be a necessary tool for Enji to sleep in peace.
14:16But what does it mean?
14:20Kawahara assembles new parts.
14:28What kind of bed will be completed?
14:32The next day.
14:38The next thing to repair is another problem in the nap room.
14:43A dangerous stove for children.
14:49The person in charge of this problem is...
14:52a skilled craftsman, Tomoharu Nakamura.
14:58This fence is thick, too.
15:01I'm afraid I'll get burned.
15:04He starts repairing it right away.
15:19Nakamura, why are you digging the ground?
15:22I'm digging the ground for the wall.
15:25Nakamura surrounds the dangerous stove...
15:30with a traditional Japanese soil wall...
15:34to make it safe.
15:39The soil wall in ancient Japan was difficult to heat.
15:44It is characterized by excellent heat resistance and heat resistance.
15:50However...
15:53I don't know if I can sleep in peace.
15:57In Japan, they use clay to make the soil wall.
16:08This is a place in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria.
16:12Will he be able to find soil suitable for the soil wall?
16:18The soil is sticky.
16:27He moves to another place.
16:31Oh!
16:45He relies on his instincts to make the soil wall.
16:53If it's friction soil, it won't harden like this.
16:57It's sticky, so it won't harden.
17:01Although it's different from Japanese soil,
17:04Nakamura thinks he can do it.
17:08However, the soil is not the only material for the soil wall.
17:14The soil won't stick together.
17:17The straw will make it stick together.
17:22A strong soil wall needs straw.
17:26However, this is Bulgaria.
17:29Will he be able to find straw in a foreign country far from Japan?
17:35There is one more thing that is essential for the soil wall.
17:41Soil base to paint the wall.
17:45Miyadai Kikuchi was working on the soil base.
17:56He cuts many pieces of long and thin wood.
18:08He assembles them one by one.
18:12Then he wraps them around the stove.
18:21What will he do with the straw?
18:26Nakamura walks around the village with Kikuchi.
18:30He stops by a wood shop.
18:37Nakamura, there is a straw.
18:40Oh, it's true.
18:42It's a straw.
18:45He finds a straw in the corner of the wood shop.
18:50He finds it.
18:53It's not for sale. It's for cows.
18:56Oh, it's for cows. I want it.
18:58I'll give it to you.
19:00It will be a present for him.
19:02Oh, thank you.
19:07He takes it back to the kindergarten.
19:10He puts the straw in the soil.
19:20He puts the straw in the soil.
19:35Is it OK?
19:36Yes, it's OK.
19:40Everything is done locally.
19:44Can he create a Japanese soil wall?
19:51It's difficult.
19:53It's difficult.
19:54It's difficult.
19:55It's difficult.
19:56It's difficult.
19:58He succeeded in creating a Japanese soil wall in a foreign country.
20:15The surface is prepared and it's done.
20:21It's the third day of work.
20:23In the afternoon nap room...
20:27The repair of the bedroom is done.
20:31Let's take a look.
20:33OK?
20:34OK.
20:50I just want to sleep.
20:54We like it.
20:58They are excited about their new bed.
21:06The nap room was small and didn't have enough beds.
21:14But the furniture craftsman Kawahara made it.
21:19By making it a double-decker bed, the room became spacious.
21:26But...
21:28I'm very happy, but I don't think the number of beds has changed.
21:36The number of beds is 27.
21:39But the double-decker bed Kawahara made is 9.
21:43Only 18 people can sleep in it.
21:45What does this mean?
21:49Japanese furniture craftsman Kawahara's bed.
21:53I was surprised by his idea.
22:16The room is full of children's rooms.
22:19There was almost no space to walk.
22:23But the number of beds was not enough.
22:25They had to sleep in one bed.
22:29The double-decker bed.
22:31It was hard for the craftsman to make it.
22:34But Kawahara made it.
22:36The room is full of children's rooms.
22:39There was almost no space to walk.
22:42But the double-decker bed.
22:44It was hard for the craftsman to make it.
22:47Japanese furniture craftsman Kawahara's bed.
22:50It was hard for the craftsman to make it.
22:53But the Japanese furniture craftsman Kawahara's bed.
22:56But the Japanese furniture craftsman Kawahara's bed.
22:59Great!
23:01Great!
23:05There was almost no space to walk.
23:09The furniture craftsman Kawahara was able to make the room more spacious by making it into a double-decker bed.
23:23However...
23:25I'm very happy, but I don't think the number of beds has changed.
23:32And then...
23:34The puzzle is mostly done by the dinosaurs.
23:39Wow!
23:52What did Kawahara make?
23:58A three-decker bed for storage.
24:02Therefore, the number of beds is exactly 27.
24:14I want to use this bed!
24:22Goodbye to the cold bed that is too small to sleep on.
24:28From now on, you can sleep comfortably while feeling the warmth of the wood.
24:35By the way, what is this hole?
24:40This hole and the line of wood on the top of the pillar.
24:45Here, too, is the kindness of the craftsman Kawahara.
24:49I made it to prevent the children from falling asleep.
24:54When the children grow up, or when the teacher's height makes it difficult to see,
25:02you can pull out this line and raise it up.
25:18When the children go to bed, the fence is low.
25:23When they enter the bed, adjust the height to ensure safety.
25:29Now the teachers are safe.
25:35And another problem with the nap room.
25:40Stove
25:43There is no fence and the space is extremely dangerous.
25:48The craftsman Nakamura made the hole in the wall to ensure safety.
25:56The hole in the wall is to deliver the heat of the stove to the whole room.
26:05Above all, it is a safe wall made of natural materials.
26:11This will also give the children a safe nap.
26:17If you touch this, it's warm.
26:24It's not hot.
26:28It's a great idea.
26:30Now the children are safe.
26:34And there is another point that is kind to the children.
26:39If it's dry today, you can hang it.
26:44Wow.
26:45If the air is dry.
26:49In fact, the role of the soil wall is to absorb moisture when there is a lot of moisture, and to release moisture when it is dry.
27:05Thank you for taking care of the children's health.
27:10Well done. The nap room full of problems has been repaired.
27:16And the third problem.
27:21A broken locker that doesn't even close the door because it's old.
27:28Moreover, there is no space and it cannot be placed for the number of people.
27:34However, the teacher's wish is to have his own locker for each person.
27:44The person who will repair such a locker is...
27:51Tatsuya Imai, a carpenter.
27:5633 years of experience as a carpenter.
27:5933 years of experience as a carpenter.
28:03Imai's repair is not only to fix it, but also to please the people who use it.
28:13How do you repair a broken locker that doesn't even close the door?
28:19How do you repair a broken locker that doesn't even close the door?
28:27First, remove all the doors that are not in a good position.
28:35Then, cut the removed door into a rectangle.
28:47Then, install it in the locker and reuse it as a shelf.
28:59Next, process the new wood and put it back in the locker.
29:12Then, it fits perfectly.
29:20Install it one by one in all the lockers.
29:28What is Imai's strategy?
29:30Imai's strategy is...
29:34Divide the upper and lower lockers into two parts.
29:39Replace them in the same space so that more people can use them.
29:46At that time, Kikuchi, a carpenter, was in Yentei.
29:53He was doing something in front of a log that had been cut last year.
30:01In fact, when he arrived at the kindergarten, he had a conversation like this.
30:07The number of kindergarten teachers will increase to eight next year.
30:10In the first place, we don't have enough classrooms.
30:17There is only one classroom in the kindergarten.
30:21The nap room is filled with beds.
30:26The other room is full of firewood.
30:32Kikuchi, a carpenter, wanted to solve the problem of the lack of classrooms.
30:40So, he paid attention to this log.
30:45By the way, how old is this log?
30:49It's about 100 to 150 years old.
30:52It's been here for a long time.
30:57I want to do something for the children.
31:02What does Kikuchi create from this log that has been watching over the growth of the kindergarten teachers?
31:10First, divide the log into two parts.
31:14But it's so thick.
31:17There is a big tool here.
31:19Even without tools, there is a technique.
31:22This is a Japanese craftsman.
31:26First, he is carving a path that divides the log into two parts.
31:36Next, he moves to the workshop and cuts the wood.
31:41He cuts the wood into two pieces.
31:45Next, he moves to the workshop and cuts the wood.
31:57He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
32:03And then...
32:15He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
32:23He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
32:26What is this?
32:29This is an ancient technique.
32:32There is an ancient Japanese technique.
32:35In fact, this is a technique called Uchiwari, which was used in an era when there were no axes and saws.
32:42This is a rare and precious video.
32:47It's really amazing.
33:12He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
33:19What is this?
33:22This is an ancient technique.
33:25There is an ancient Japanese technique.
33:28This is a technique called Uchiwari, which was used in an era when there were no axes and saws.
33:35It has been said that it is difficult to pass through rainwater and lasts a long time.
33:47It is rare to see it in the modern era where tools have evolved.
33:52It is a special technique that can only be done by a part of Miyadai.
34:04He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
34:17And then...
34:29He cuts out a triangular piece of wood.
34:31I
35:01Got a dangerous a joke. I think they can make a shimmery so no mama Miki Nihariko Nishimata, Fushi
35:09Nipponでは不死のない良質な木材を作るため成長過程で枝を切ることで滅多に不死は出ません
35:19Kikuchiはこの丸太で何を作るのか
