Written by Soetsu Yanagi
A series of essays by Soetsu Yanagi, a Japanese Art Critic and Philosopher. Yanagi was instrumental in the Japanese folk craft (mingei) movement of the early 20th century and was a champion of handmade items, rather than the mass-produced items that were becoming more and more popular. In this book Yanagi calls for us to appreciate the beauty of handmade items and that their functionality and simplicity only add to their charm.
