Folk Craft Theory by Yanagi Muneyoshi

Abstract

In the 20s of the XX century in Japan Yanagi Muneyoshi (Soetsu), later became famous as a philosopher and collector of traditional crafts products, began to develop a theory, which is considered to be the first aesthetic theory in Japan. This theory, named Mingeiron (Folk crafts theory), became the theoretical basis for the widely ensuing Folk Craft Movement (mingeiundo the echoes of which still can be heard not only in Japan, but also far beyond it, but the theory itself, despite the ambiguous attitude of the researchers towards it, has many supporters not only in Japan, but also in the West, especially in England and the United States of America.
