Mingei
	In Japanese, it means "hand-crafted art of ordinary people". I have an appreciation for the aesthetics of these everyday crafts. I grew up with them because my mother owned a lot. It is said that a few criteria of Mingei are "made by anonymous crafts people", "produced by hand in quantity", "inexpensive", "used by the masses", "functional in daily life" and "representative of the regions in which they were produced". That's wonderful existence, isn't it? Also respect for its propagators, Soetsu and Sori Yanagi. Photo by Kazunobu Yamada
