Walking the Path: An Apprenticeship in Japan — Never Stop Building - Crafting Wood with Japanese Techniques
From late June, 2019 until the end of March 2020, I lived in the town of Mitsu, north of Okayama, Japan, and worked as an apprentice carpenter for the Somacousha Company, under the instruction of Yamamoto Kohei and Jon Stollenmyer, referred to as “Yama San” and “Jon “ respectively.
It is for the love of the trees that we dedicate ourselves to creating work which will honor them. Never Stop Building is a design build studio located in Baltimore, Maryland. We specialize in traditional woodworking, furniture design, timber framing and finish carpentry, utilizing predominantly Japanese tools and techniques. We believe that by building high quality, long lasting goods from sustainable materials will both reduce our impact on the environment and improve the quality of our lives and that of our children and grandchildren. To this end we use sustainably sourced woods, natural finishes, and donate a portion of our profits to organizations that help steward America’s forests.
