€49,95

A book exploring the idea of beauty in everyday, handmade objects.

Written around the origins of the Mingei movement in Kyoto,
it brings together objects, writings, and works that reflect a way of living shaped by craft.

Rather than a historical overview,
it offers a perspective on how objects become part of daily life.

In Kyoto in 1925, the philosopher Yanagi Soetsu, together with ceramists Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro, introduced the idea of mingei — finding beauty in ordinary, handmade objects used in daily life.

This book looks back at the beginnings of that movement through selected works and writings, tracing how it continues to shape the way we see craft today.

A quiet introduction to a way of seeing, and living with things.
