We want to work together to create good products, not only with our customers, but also with our colleagues who undertake everything from design to construction. We named it "sun home" with the meaning that we want each resident and creator to become the main character and shine.

At sun Home, we work together from young staff in their 20s to veteran craftsmen with high technical skills who have been working for decades. I would like to fully demonstrate the merits of each.

By the way, the acronym for "sun" is in lowercase because I want to be a small but rich company. I would like to steadily promote manufacturing that pays close attention to even the smallest details.

In our case, most of them are acquaintances or referrals from customers. Most of them are requested by architects. The point is that I'm an "Otasuke Man" to cover things that I can't do in the same industry (laughs).

It's certainly similar to the world of cooking. Think about how to cook by choosing from many ingredients. The wood is also the same, how to cut it well and use it. There is no place to throw away trees.

We are building not only wooden structures but also reinforcing bars and steel frames. Custom-built houses, stores, shrines and temples, exteriors, long-term care remodeling, condominium renovations, etc.
A little unusual is the seismic retrofitting work that we recommend while discussing with the prefecture staff about the house that cannot be rebuilt because the earthenware has been excavated.
Also, we carried out new construction of shrines and temples, which would normally cost a huge amount of money, by incorporating an unprecedented idea. The temple was completed brilliantly, and the floating budget could be used for fittings, so the chief priest was very pleased. As with any project we deal with, it's very difficult to get the budget right in line with your needs. However, we try to create a part that customers can think "Oh, I'm glad" as much as possible by ingenuity and ingenuity under the given conditions.

I agree. We handle a wide range of domestic and foreign timber, but especially for domestic timber called "famous wood" such as Yoshino cedar in Nara and Kiso cypress in Nagano, we go to the city where it is produced and bid off. You are also qualified to participate in the auction. I go once or twice every two months, but the only participating members are large wholesalers. I'm competing in that, so I'm wondering from the people around me (laughs).

The company started in 2017, but I have had a long relationship with architecture and trees. After graduating from university, I entered this industry when I was 22 years old, and I worked as a construction company and became independent. With the approval of my seniors, I can go in and out of such markets and procure famous trees.

There are many craftsmen of joinery and furniture in the Hida region. Since my father and bag are also from Hida Takayama, I have a connection with various craftsmen, and I have them make fittings from the wood I purchased. It seems that the products made from the materials sold are also stored in the old streets of Takayama and the buildings of important cultural properties.

That's right. By the way, in this area, 3 inch square (90 x 90 mm) or 3.5 inch square (105 x 105 mm) wood is generally used for the pillars. But in Kyushu, it's 4 inch square (120 x 120 mm) and 5 inch square (150 x 150 mm). Do you know why Kyushu is thicker?
A house in Kyushu, which tends to be a path for typhoons, is not worth it unless it is that much.

That's why it is said that a carpenter from Kyushu was surprised when he came here. "Is this a house !? It's too thin to fall down in the wind." But lately, natural disasters that occur once every few decades occur quite frequently in various places. Not to mention earthquakes, but there are concerns about strong typhoons and storms, so we have to make sure that the structure, outer walls, and roof are well equipped in this area as well.
As with changes in the climate and environment, do you think that the value of prices for goods has changed significantly in the last 20 years or so? Everything around us is cheap, but it doesn't last long.

I feel that the durability of various products and the span of replacement by purchase are shorter than in the past.
But a house has to save lives. It is important for protecting human beings and for living, and since it is a lifelong shopping for customers, I want to build a decent house.

I think that if we make something wonderful that responds to the feelings of our customers at that time, and that is durable and will not require maintenance in the future, we will definitely be pleased. If I was told "Mr. Hayashi, the outer wall is still beautiful" a few years ago, it feels good to me!

I see. That's why you are trying to make proposals that consider the future properly, such as avoiding maintenance, and do polite work.

People who are familiar with architecture are said to be. "Mr. Hayashi, why do you use such a good material? If it breaks, I'll come back to work" (laughs). If you want to do it, you can do it, but I don't aim for such a method. After all it is trustworthy. Nothing.

For example, if you like wood and want to use Japanese cypress as a structural material, you can make a purchase in the market and go to the sawmill to order cutting and check the quality. There are quite a few types and grades of building materials and cloths, so we also go to the showroom together with our customers to select them as needed. We are mainly made to order, so we can do everything.

It seems that some vendors say, "Customers should not be present," but we do not hide the situation at the site and take the attitude of "please keep an eye on it."
As with any job, it's person-to-person. First, get to know people and deal with anything seriously. While discussing with the customer, if there is a mistake, we will fix it and finish it up. I think that sincerity is important for manufacturing.
