Commemorating a century the term mingei (meaning "crafts of the people") was created, this exhibition catalogue explores the enduring legacy of Japan's folk art movement. The volume presents a curated selection of functional beauty created by the movement's prominent artisans and artists, focusing on Kyoto's vital role in its development. Featuring an array of traditional crafts, including ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, and woodwork, it re-examines the deep connection between Kyoto, its makers, and the daily objects that define Japanese cultural heritage.
