A hanok that preserves the beauty of a traditional house without going against nature. A traditional hanok is completed with the persistence of a craftsman. Since it is a traditional hanok where the wisdom and breath of ancestors live, it requires the hands of many craftsmen, such as Dopyeonsu and Waegong, and after a precarious process, a thousand-year-old antique is born. The construction of a traditional hanok begins with a ‘foundation.’ After accurately erecting a pillar weighing over 300 kg on the foundation, the work of building a wooden frame begins. Unlike in the past, when erecting the main beam, a crane is used, but it is still a precarious situation. The craftsmen work tirelessly with hammers to ensure that the main beam and pillar are connected without any gaps. In addition, the work of climbing the roof over 4m high and laying tiles shows the spirit of craftsmanship. It seems like a work that cannot be done without love for hanok. Ahn Young-bae (52), the representative of a traditional hanok construction company, said, “It is a pine tree that grew in Gangwon-do. It is a Korean pine. “Even if it is not old, we use trees that are over 30 years old,” he said. “It is the most important material. We worked hard for over a month to trim and process the tree and bring it to us, but we are most worried about not hitting it so that it won’t get damaged. If it hits something or falls, all our hard work will be in vain,” he said, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of wood. What process goes into making a hanok that is said to last a thousand years? We will now meet traditional hanok craftsmen who are sweating and putting in all their efforts to continue the traditional hanok where the breath of our ancestors lives. #Extremejob #Traditional hanok architecture #Do-pyeon-su #Hanok craftsman #Building a hanok #Hanok architecture #Building a house #Lifestyle #Conditions of hanok
