Description

Explore the complex world of Japanese stoneware through this detailed study by Routledge. This book examines a community of potters in southern Japan and the specific challenges they encounter in production, marketing, and aesthetic evaluation. It focuses on mingei, or folk art, and how it is perceived in the modern world. Readers will learn how different individuals within the art world apply various values when negotiating the meaning of mingei. The text examines the tension between defining an object as art, folk art, or mere craft. Unlike standard studies of isolated groups, this monograph reaches beyond a single community to trace the historical origins and development of these traditions. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the anthropology of Asia and the decorative arts. It provides a deep look at how cultural values shape the way we value handmade objects and the history behind Japanese pottery traditions.
