This is the place to debate politics, global warming, and yes, even the origin of man, whatever. Simply put, if you want to argue about off topic stuff, you've found the right board. Have fun!
In Otari, Nagano-pref, Japan.
Snow precipitation amounts to 18 meters (59 feet) per year.
They remove snow when the roofs have 1.5 meters (4.9 foot) or more, and they repeat that job six times a year at least.
Needless to say, we can get nice powder over there, but it gets too much for skiing sometimes.
The flowing river never stops and yet the water never stays the same.
I wonder why the guy decided to film himself doing this... Do you guys in Japan watch each other removing snow from your roofs? You film yourself so you can watch it several times later? Do you find it entertaining?

Probably, to carry on their tradition of the removal of snow by human power.
That building is more than 200 years old. The video is a kind of documentary.
His cutting technique is really good.
The flowing river never stops and yet the water never stays the same.
His technique is truly amazing!
In fact, everything you guys do is totally amazing. There's something about Japan...
I used to make a living by selling audiophile and vintage audio gear on Ebay... All the good stuff was always shipped to Japan... The biggest Mosrite guitars collectors are in Japan... The best XCD skiers are from Japan...
