Rebuilding an Old Japanese House

The documentary features five Japanese carpenters who traveled to Boston to reconstruct a 150-year-old silkweaver's townhouse. Packed in crates, the house was shipped to the Boston Children's Museum, where the carpenters meticulously assembled it.

Viewers can witness firsthand traditional tools and woodworking techniques as the carpenters work on the project. Alongside the construction, the film captures three Shinto housebuilding ceremonies performed by the contractor, adding a cultural and spiritual dimension to the craftsmanship.
