I chanced across this video on youtube and thought it worth sharing.

I have to admit to not knowing many of the species mentioned and wonder if the same kind of joinery could be constructed in ash, oak or cherry that are more commonly available here for example. I cannot imagine doing the double tenon 3 corner joint in oak for example (not that I could do it even in these Japanese timbers!). Where the video quoted lightness as a defining characteristic I immediately thought of balsa wood, and cedar when softness and moth repellant properties were mentioned. Are these just Japanese names for timber we would recognise in the West, or species only locally available to the Japanese craftsmen?
