Letters from the workshopsNo. 01

I believe mingei is a timeless theme

By Mizuki Aruga, Editor at Japan Documented

Living day to day in Japan, I often feel that the word "mingei" gets used loosely, just for a vague sort of mood. I suspect that visitors who love Japanese culture enough to make the trip to the Japan Folk Crafts Museum in Komaba, Tokyo, may know far more about it than we do.
