Spearheaded by the philosopher Yanagi Setsu, and potters Hamada Shji and Bernard Leach, the movement sought to elevate the status of folk craft in a rapidly modernising society. This richly-illustrated book covers a wide range of objects associated with Mingei, from ceramics and furniture to textiles and toys, alongside a series of profiles of leading designers and makers working in Japan today. Contributors from a variety of backgrounds explore Mingeis origins, interpretations and contemporary implications, shedding new light on the ways in which the principles of the movement remain relevant to todays personal, social and environmental concerns.
