I am an architect living in California who is looking to a locate a film called (I think) “The Japanese Carpenter”. It was a documentary about a Japanese carpenter demonstrating the construction of a house with traditional tools and joinery. I saw it in an architectural school class back in 1970. It was a very beautiful film and I’m trying to locate it for a friend who’s hoping to build a house with traditional methods in mind. I’ve searched the internet and can’t come up with much of anything so I’m hoping this will be in somebody’s memory. Thanks.

Maybe you could contact them.... Or the school you went to.
