Day in the Life of a Japanese Carpenter

A day in the life of a Japanese Carpenter. This is the typical life of a Japanese worker in the Japan construction industry. In Japan, a carpenter is known as Daiku. We follow the life of carpenter in Japan from morning until evening including everything that happens in between. This is the typical work day for a Japanese carpenter. Eri who recently started her own carpentry company mainly renovates stores and houses. In Japan these days, the number of carpenters have significantly decreased by 1/2 compared to 20 years ago, and currently 40% of all carpenters are over the age of 60. It’s become a serious concern in Japan, but Eri, unlike the younger generation avoiding the industry, wants to help spread her joy of carpentry to those around her.
