Nails were _high value_ back then, so reusing them was quite common.

I understand the why,

Most people were engaged in agricultural activities, so there was
"free time" during offseasons.

Japanese carpentry has a history of over 1,000 years. Though in
western construction we tend to separate architect/designer from the
constructor, in Japan the carpenter is also the architect. Japanese
carpentry is known for its ability to create everything from temples
to houses to tea houses to furniture without the use of any nails,
screws, or power tools. This is done through a process called joinery.
Joinery involves the creation of interlocking joints that join
together carefully selected pieces of wood. We will discuss wood types
in this article later. Traditional Japanese craftsmanship is evident
in many of the different ryokans located in Japan. For now, however,
let's examine some of the different types of joinery and how this
unique craft can make the ryokan experience even better.
