  • Carpenters of Japanese Ancestry in Hawaii Hisao Goto Kazuko
    Craft History and the Merging of Tool Traditions: Carpenters of Japanese Ancestry in Hawaii Hisao Goto Kazuko Sinoto Alexander Spoehr For centuries the Japanese have made extensive use of wood as the main raw material in the construction of houses and their furnishings, temples, shrines, and fishing boats. As a wood-worker, the carpenter is one of the most ancient of Japanese specialists. He developed a complex set of skills, a formidable body of technical knowledge, and a strong tradition of craftsmanship to be seen and appreciated in the historic wood structures of contemporary Japan.1 The first objective of this study of carpenters of Japanese ancestry in Hawaii is to throw light on how the ancient Japanese craft of carpentry was transplanted from Japan to a new social, cultural, and economic environment in Hawaii through the immigration of Japanese craftsmen and the subsequent training of their successors born in Hawaii. Despite its importance for the understanding of economic growth and develop- ment, the craft history of Hawaii has not received the attention it deserves. The second objective of the study is more anthropological in nature and is an attempt to analyze how two distinct manual tool traditions, Japanese and Western, met and merged in Hawaii to form a new composite tool tradition. This aspect of the study falls in a larger field dealing with the history of technology and of tool traditions in general. Carpentry today, both in Japan and in the United States, relies heavily on power rather than hand tools. Also, carpenters tend to be specialized, and construction is to a major degree a matter of assembling prefabricated parts.

Historically a handcrafted skill of mortise and tenon joinery, heavy timber construction has been modernized by tools such as CNC machines, high- strength engineered wood products, and mass-production techniques. A growing environmental awareness that recognizes wood as the only renewable and sustainable structural building material is also invigorating this type of construction. Heavy timbers are differentiated from dimensional lumber by having minimum dimensions required by the building code. Modern versions include sawn stress-grade lumber, timber tongue and groove decking, glued-laminated timber (glulam), parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and cross laminated timber (CLT). Structural laminated products can be used as solid walls, floors and columns to construct an entire building. Modern heavy timber construction contributes to the appeal, comfort, structural durability and longevity of schools, churches, large-span recreation centers, mid-rise/multi-family housing and supermarkets, among many other buildings.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 1 of 1 3/27/00 8:59 AM ABSTRACT Full-scale tests were conducted on three types of traditional Japanese post-and-beam wall frames (2-Brace, 4-Brace and OSB sheathed frames) to determine the lateral loading resistance under monotonic and cyclic loading procedures. Twelve tests were conducted on 2.62 x 2.70 m frames, constructed with British Columbia Hem-fir timber and oriented strand board panels as sheathing (JIS - Japanese grade) provided by Ainsworth Lumber Ltd. Five specimens were tested monotonically using a loading rate of 0.13 mm/sec and seven specimens were tested cyclically using various loading protocols (UBC, UBC - modified and MOC).

Even the farm­ yards, pasturesandfields ofNorthAmerica no longer support the diverse livestock breeds of 50 to 100 years ago.

  • An Argument for Modern Craftsmanship: a Philosophy of Design, Materials, and Process in a Post-Industrial Environment
    An Argument for Modern Craftsmanship: A Philosophy of Design, Materials, and Process in a Post-Industrial Environment A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the Collage of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) by Nicholas M. Germann B.S. Architecture University of Cincinnati June 2006 Master of Architecture, University of Cincinnati June 2009 Committee Chair: Gerald Michaud, MA Committee Member: Anton Harfmann, MArch Committee Member (informal): Scott Lincoln Abstract I see myself as a Digital/CNC Craftsman. What does that mean? It means that I utilize new and emerging tools to produce quality objects. The criterion for what constitutes “quality” emerges from my contemporary redefinition of what “Craftsmanship” means and its use applications. For too long, the idea of craftsmanship has been relegated to the unsubstantiated realm of “hand work” and “non-machine made” with no consideration for the processes involved. However, it is exactly the process’ involved, and how well they are holistically integrated into the built object that this new redefinition of Craftsmanship argues for.
