They sure are!

Pandapoof 1 I totally agree!

it seems they leave apart of their spirit in everything they create by hand and every creation is art

Pandapoof 1 wow you're gorgeous. Marry me?

focke wulf Yes I agree. Personally I think it's because they have alot of pride and passion in what they. When I create something I know I have so much that it transfers in that item. You can't help but leave a piece of your soul.

+Divine Gypsy my feelings exactly. :)

Evie Wilkinson , like old-fashioned log cabin where several family members lived.

Yes, I don't think it is using clever design inside if you need to increase the dimensions of a tiny house to fit all the essential equipment in.

I think the spirit of a tiny house is really dependent upon the man or woman who is building it. Tiny homes became of Interest to live in a different way. Some are choosing not have any mortgage so they build based on their budget, some are choosing to get rid of excess or downsize so they might build it smaller or not, some are looking to travel with a family and need to have a smaller space to have a budget to be able to do so, and others are choosing a lifestyle of a nomad to work on the road and want to have whatever they want with them. I think the spirit of a tiny house is determined by the one choosing to create a life for himself that works. Each man or woman choosing to live in a different way has their priorities and desires which will bring a different spirit 2 each home. For me, It is not important that we follow our spirit and not a preconceived idea of the spirit of a tiny house. As long as we do what we find is best for us in our lives we cannot go wrong. tiny houses became a popular thing because so many of us Did not have any answers and were living every moment just to have a place to sleep. Most of us have no time to enjoy or relax or learn or develop great relationships. it is still difficult for most to be able to create a tiny house because they are very expensive still. Having lost everything when my daughter and I were rear-ended in a hit-and-run twice by a large commercial truck, I am just looking for ways to create a tiny house. I have designed a tiny home because I was in a collision and lost everything. I'm only doing it because I do not have the funds to purchase a nice size house again. I love space. I create better in big Open Spaces where I can write and think and contemplate. my house was about 3,500 square feet and did not feel too big for me. I had friends stay with me often who were visiting town for conventions or just to visit. I also took in 15 complete strangers and gave them everything they needed to be able to get back on their feet again who I had for a year to three years each . I usually had one two three at a time only . Let us remember that we should not b making our lives based upon what we think the spirit of a tiny house is, especially when it does not suit us. my design has everything the regular size and I don't have anything in my plans 4 entertaining because I will have a large deck and outside living area with barbecue for having friends over. and hopefully a fire pit and a gazebo in the flower garden and a veggie garden and fruit trees Etc built up around the home. Blessings to everyone. And remember to build your tiny house with a spirit that you want as big or as small as you choose because there is no one who can say that it is not a tiny house for you. It is possible to find UKposts videos about the importance that space has in all our lives. One video I saw a few years ago said that those with a large Consciousness require large spaces. and that those who are used to living in smaller spaces and then are put into larger spaces have their Consciousness expand. certainly the powers-that-be are very interested to have each of us be willing to accept the smallest space possible...even a 4 by four square foot space so we are accepting a jail cell as normal. let us not forget to each his own and what is Tiny for me maybe a mansion for someone else. to me anything less than 500 square feet per each man or woman is truly outrageous.

@@secrets2youth I agree on many points but in my opinion you can said that happiness, sadness, entertainment, etc. is different from individual to individual because are universal yet abstract, adaptable concepts but you can't do the same with other universal like liberty, justice, and concrete concepts as are describing the porpoise. A tiny means tiny. That is why we as civilization had a marvelous tool call dictionary. The correct natural course would be maybe another name for that bigger houses that are still way small than a worldwide average size. If we all start to understand everything in our own view with our limited bubble would be confusing and sometimes plainly misguided as sometimes is. The concept of the tiny house is that simple and beautiful, maybe we need more concepts derived from there to apply to new building.

Paul Kiely he deserves the respect he's shown, doesn't he? Great job.

@Paul Kiely Japanese people are well known for paying high regards to the craftsmanship, despite their obsession with technology and automation. It's one of the things that makes their culture fascinating. And I'm not even a Japanese, btw.

Any link to Mr. Tagami?

😂😂true

@@nancyfroio yes I wonder if he has a channel. Have to look him up.

so you ddnt notice the closet had one winter coat.. no actual tops, pants, slkisrts or underwear.. you saw food? i didnt!

It sure is Carol!

Thank-you!

TheTriggaTv yes very inspiring.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's my favourite so far too! :)

He makes those tiny houses look even tinier, you know, because of his height ☺

Which is not ironic .... at all.

@Starvin Marvin what??

😂 great comment ty! 😊

@Starvin Marvin Huh? Your comment is relevant to this comment thread or these people exactly how, please?

that is the funniest, most clever comment ever! Made my day...

LOL! :)

Lmao

Haha

We all do that to some extent

I think you may have missed the cushions they were sitting upon. That's traditional Japanese seating. The cushions can be made to 'fit your arse' and can be easily cleaned, etc. So that's what they were sitting on. They do keep a lot of things in their car... but, as anyone that takes a 'road trip' knows... that's what you do. The bedding, for instance. They probably have more issues when it's raining... but they can anticipate and drive to a covered location to transfer those belongings to the house before moving on. Seems like if inclement weather is on the horizon they take off for one of the 'roadside communities" where they can eat, etc. The MOST important thing is their temperaments are well-suited for each other and the space. I have to admit it would be a pipe dream for me to think I could do it for a long time successfully. However... I think I'd do more meditating and the thought of stopping often for a Hot Spring visit is VERY appealing.

luv2dancesalsa I'd need a big cushion for my fat ass lol

I live in Vietnam and the beds are so hard it's like sleeping on the floor. Vietnamese p e ople usually prefer a hard bed (I sleep on an air mattress). The couches are harder than in thethe west too. I think some cultures are more comfortable with harder surfaces.

So some people have a "sass ass" is what I hear you saying.

we from the pasific agree with you

J Scholtens absolutely.. very nice architecture than american Tiny house.. I love this style..but ITS not approved by us standard because have no insulation wall.

the fireplace probably makes up for it during winter. and it looks like its not difficult to gather wood in japan.

did you mean inconvenient? where are the bras and panties.. the food? i will leave you to think on it....

I

Interesting but would be annoying with all the assembling and disassembly, esp getting at the fridge. Was it a fridge? Or a cooler ?

@@ziziscorsese9475 yeah too much assembling every day for everything

@@sparshnaik4551 Time that many people spend cleaning their larger homes. Having to assemble spaces makes everything more deliberate... no wasted energy.

It really is. And it's so beautifully crafted. My Jaw kinda got down, when she dropped 30k USD. For the amount of work, love, care and material that went into that thing, this is cheap.

Thank-you for your lovely comment. I'm glad you like the home. :)

Living Big In A Tiny House thanks for this one Brice.i think I can do this one.

Manilyn Francisco That's how I found this channel😂 I've exhausted everything on Netflix! UKposts might start getting my money instead

That's a lot of videos. Haha.

Thanks :)

As a carpenter for over 30 yrs, the way they join wood together has always been something I’ve wanted to study.

Thank-you very much! It's not a TV series, I just make these videos for UKposts. :)

Walrusberg I agree, they are like tv production, especially if you cast it t watch on TV ^-^

you are the best * brofist *

this guy is right. History Channel / Discovery would love this I think.

If you think this production value is fantastic you have absolutely no idea of how serious youtube can get. Some UKpostsrs (mostly tech UKpostsrs) use cameras that the brain alone is worth 50k. (RED Weapon 8k) I would argue that youtube has better production value than most TV shows but there's a lot of shitty content on YT. That said this channel is pretty good when it comes to production value.

tell me where their shirts and pants are. the cleaning products, skin care, toiletries. their underclothes? it looks cold there.. the socks boots etc.. im calling bs.

Nannagram very much agree.

agree!

Keirabug I Could not have said it better myself. I definitely want this! Shower included though, lol.

Keirabug I Know right !!

I was just thinking the same Best Episode lol

So easy to maneuver

Yes, by FAR a very lovely and typical Japanese house. No wonder Steve Jobs got his inspiration from anything Japanese, :)

and his own home.. cos this is not a home.

Its ugly

30k is too much for that thing but I want one.

$30k for this ? I bet I could build it for $8k easy

Many Different Things

Of course, people in America are, on average, much larger than the average Japanese person, so a tiny home for Americans, or Kiwis, or Aussies, etc would be expected to be a bit larger. This one is essentially a super-cool travel trailer. Also a great idea!

We're quite a bit larger, land of the free, home of the fat.

+J peterman33 yes, Fat!

Atherton X really? Not for me

@Rudraksh Tiwari There was nothing wrong with what she/he said, they simple disagreed, doesn't mean they're being disrespectful or hate it.

I absolutely LOVED Onsen in Japan. Some of them were in the most spectacular of locations too.

these shares aren't to evaluate the choices this way and that and what we would do... it's about what 'they' elected to do.. just that simple. Besides they have a toilet indoors.. did that escape your attention span ?

Canyon Haverfield sorry Canyon, I forgot to read "Canyon Haverfield's guide to internet use and commenting."

Many Different Things it snows in Japan and they sleep in the tiny house. That means they have to *go outside* first to access the toilet in the van.

Japanese people like to have bath at a public bathroom, it's a tradition

Canyon Haverfield - what? who the hell are you to tell people what they may or may not discuss. Seeing a beautiful home like this and then discussing what alterations you would ask for is perfectly legit. It's fun to think about having a home like this. And I agree with Jenny M's comment. So put that in your bossy hat and smoke it, buddy.

That's the perfect definition for this tiny house. I think I should pin your comment... But I can't... 😅😁

+PJ Mac thanks so much. Glad you enjoy my videos! I'm actually visiting the US soon. Can't wait to see what we find over there! :)

personally i feel you shouldn't inquire of building price. If you have to ask you can't afford it is my feeling .. plus if ones interested in the design cost they can figure it out based on their area cost per foot figures.. most of the special property's are pieces of art that have originated from a sacred space in each builder's realm of existence .. and if you ask me should not be quantified in terms of 'monetary costs' . Recently you asked an owner the cost.. and he shook his head in response and stated only - 'I don't know' and left the subject matter right there . I thought that a perfect moment .

Canyon Haverfield You are entitled to your opinion, however, I'm always excited to see the cool houses and am always surprised at how inexpensive Living Big In a Tiny House's presentations are because they're always designed very cool, the price always shocks me (inexpensive) and gosh, I could listen to a Kiwi talk all day! US tiny home builders are ripping people off because of the "craze" and it's a little weird the whole "recently you commented statement"?? Tiny home comment stalker? lol

Btw, I didn't inquire on the price. I complimented him for offering it.

Canyon Haverfield - based upon your comments on this video, you appear to be a bit of a control freak. Let people ask what they want.

I met a japanese guy whose english was pretty much perfect. It had to do with that he worked for a company hat operated internationally and also had a good amount of employees that came from english speaking countries. It was encouraged there, to speak english.

The subtle language nuances that they speak with tells me they have spent many years living in America. Maybe in Torrance in Southern California which has a very large Japanese American population.

They most likely have lived in Canada, they use some words that are very similarly pronounced in Canada, I'd say maybe US as well, but I am leaning more towards canadian English!

You could be right, most likely they have both been to various places in 英語県 ( eigo ken ) means English Prefecture or “ English speaking World “

I'm surprised too! My friend is Japanese and she has lived here in Canada for 20 years and her accent is still so thick and her English still a little broken. I have a hard time understanding her sometimes.

HisPANIC This is his living filing tiny houses nice thing to be doing

Thanks so much Joonas! Glad you enjoyed it. This home truly captivated me and I'm happy to be able to share it with you.

Better? Well, okay, but all of his videos are well edited and interesting! He interviews people very well and has charm.

I agree with you! But by "one of better" I meant "one of the best ones", not to diss on the quality of the rest of his production! I may have been a bit unclear on that one.

This is the wave of the future. Alot of people don't want to be tied down with one place or to a big mortgage and property taxes. Etc. It's too expensive.

Joonas Loppi yess ! The windows help with it not looking so tiny, it’s so opened on the outside that you don’t feel confined !

gblan except this one doesn’t have a shower and probably no toilet.

He called these gracious women "girls," that's a major disrespectful mistake in his interview.

Space is more important when you live this small. Traditional b-n-sticks bathrooms take up way too much space & waste too much water. Thinking out of the box, there's several ways to answer the call of nature & keep yourself clean. These wise women have figured it out so they can live more in tune WITH NATURE & have more personal freedoms. Initial sacrifices turn into personal & environmental wins, think about it.

@@kriskabin r

I agree. They're both tiny enough that the closet could have been a wet bath. Although the idea of a hot spring sounds wonderful, I'd still rather have my own shower and toilet.

1,9 metres

Most people who use metric system can usually guesstimate these things.

@@bernardjameswilson true... Eventhough feet are the hardest to guess for me

@@feyindecay912 I just estimate like how a foot is just a little over 30cm or how a mile is just a bit over 1.6km and 1kg is 2.2 lbs.

Honestly, I think it's mine too.

It is interesting, but I did not see curtains for privacy or to block light for sleep. I live in a wonderful, desired climate, yet I would get way too hot in this one with so much window space.

PleaseCiteYourSources Thanks there were felted window coverings in the part when the beds were made

Thanks. I didn't notice them before, but they do look way to thin to insulate from the hot sun or to block out light for sleeping. ...but to each his own!

@@annoyed707 r/whoosh

Me, too! I enjoy a separate room for my quilting but love these tiny homes! Especially appreciate the genuine humility, kindness and interest that Bryce shows to each person he meets. And Rasa does the best in showing EVERYTHING without being intrusive.

I guess it's like playing with a doll house 🏠

Small out side ..big inside..

It sure is! They both spend quite a lot of time in the United States, so have learnt very good English.

Radioactive Snake More than native level English they both are eloquent speakers.

The assumption being that it wouldn't be, and since it is, it's surprising. Not often are non-POCs' English commented upon. Implicit bias just sayin

Aloe Vera You're talking to someone who has spent 2 years learning Japanese. Japanese is the hardest language an English speaker can take. The transition from conversational Japanese to English is even harder. You are being even more disingenuous by labelling this as simply a POC issue. These women are native Japanese. So yes, the fact that they can speak English so eloquently is more than surprising. Why? Because i am told by my friends constantly how absurdly hard it is for them to speak English when we study. Emphasis on the conversational aspect; The Japanese "alphabet" equivalent is made up of pre-determined syllables (chi-shi-fu-ku etc). Speaking English is much harder since we don't have pre-determined syllables but rather the sound of each word can change dramatically by simply adding just letters. I really don't know where your conflict with my comment lies. Yes my assumption stands to reason, because Japanese people normally don't speak English. Im the same way English people don't normally speak Japanese, Greek don't speak Russian and Chinese don't speak Italian. There is a world bigger than America you know. People aren't obligated to speak English. You assumption that POC more times than not can speak eloquent English is an American view.

I wouldn't take Alove Vera's comment to heart. When you're a non-native English speaker, especially in America where immigration isn't surprising, comments about one's English are often in conjunction with some degree of condescend and people often give themselves the task of 'helping' you, even if you're completely fluent. Or well, it used to be. At least in my experience, ever since the backlash of the Trump presidency, people are becoming a lot more polite, so myself and other non-natives I know have lately not gotten that sort of comments, granted I live in an extremely fortunate area. TL;DR: You gave them a well-meaning compliment, I'm sure, but maybe past experiences have left some people jumpy.

Very tiny!

That's what she said, lol

it's nice but too small

Amazing! Wow

Crazy J 902 that’s also what she said.

Thank you for this wonderful, wonderful tiny house story! I lived in Japan for around 17 years so am used to living in what I thought were tiny apartments, but this is unbelievable! What better country to live in a tiny house with so many "onsen" (hotsprings) and public baths to use and enjoy!?! :-) Totally green with envy! ;-) Like one of the women in the clip, I'm at a stage in my life where I want to simplify & downsize, so am researching tiny houses. I have health issues, so am looking to build a not-too-expensive (they seem to be getting more expensive by the day!) tiny house that is future-proofed (no bed-in-a-loft scenarios) that I could live in until i'm a really old lady! Wish I'd known you were going to Japan-I could've come with you as your guide & interpreter! lol Next time!! suze.reiser@gmail.com :-) Thanks again - great video! I hope the 2 ladies live a long & happy & healthy life in their beautiful tiny house.

Suzanne R Bless you!! May you have the tiny home that you wish for!!!

I think that it's easier to do when you're traveling also, as you get to spend a lot more time outside of the home exploring.

Mr Tagami has put a lot of thought into creating something which is visually beautiful and functional. It's a great design!

Could you please give a link to Mr Tagami? I'd love to see more of his creations

So glad you enjoyed this video! I completely agree with your comments. And yes! We travelled to the south of Japan to meet Mr Tagami and tour his workshop. He is doing some truly exceptional works. That's all coming out in a future video. :)
