Overview
The philosopher YANAGI Soetsu (1889-1961), who championed the beauty of handmade objects used in people’s daily lives, coined the term mingei for crafts made by anonymous artisans. This exhibition introduces a variety of beautiful mingei works under the themes of Clothing, Food, and Housing, as well as taking viewers on a tour of regions where mingei artisans and their techniques endure today. We also examine how mingei is finding a place in contemporary life and how it may evolve in the future.
