Softbound. Zustand: Very Good. Revised edition. Adapted by Bernard Leach; foreword by Shoji Hamada. Soetsu Yanagi was the founding father of the modern Japanese folk art tradition, having spent his entire career in the study of the beauty and truth within what he described as "objects born, not made". His appreciation and promotion of the products of the anonymous craftsman led him to found two museums dedicated to such works; one in Korea and the second in Japan; he also wrote widely on the subject of aesthetics, specifically as applied to traditional crafts. This volume is essential reading for all who wish to understand the foundations and philosophy of the Japanese folk art (mingei) movement. Minor wear and creasing to wrappers; internally clean and unmarked. 231 pp., 12 col. and 65 b&w plates. Size: 24 x 18 cm.
