Description

Explore the complex history of the Mingei movement in this scholarly work from Routledge. Originally conceptualized in 1920s Japan by Yanagi Soetsu, the Mingei movement has expanded globally since the 1950s. This expansion has led to the rise of Mingei museums, specialized shops, restaurants, and a dedicated community of collectors and connoisseurs worldwide. This book examines how the theory, particularly through its adaptation by Bernard Leach, became a major influence on studio craft artists in the West. It investigates the reasons behind the movement's popularity with Western audiences and questions whether the perceived Orientalness of Mingei theory is a myth. This richly illustrated text provides new evidence regarding cultural nationalism and Orientalism, making it an essential read for those interested in decorative arts, design history, and the evolution of Japanese aesthetics in a global context.
