Is it because people are concerned with design for more fulfilling lifestyles? Or because of interest in the local color and handcrafting traditions that endure in various regions of Japan? Whatever the reason, the new aesthetic vision conceived by Yanagi Muneyoshi (Soetsu), Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro nearly a hundred years ago remarkably continues to inspire people today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u201cMingei\u201d was coined in late December 1925, and almost a century (96 years, to be exact) has passed since the conceptual seeds of Mingei were sown. This exhibition, 60 years after the death of founder Yanagi Muneyoshi, will show Mingei\u2019s endeavors, which evolved over the years, in a new light while offering a comprehensive picture of the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition showcases an array of functional utensils, including ceramics, textiles, woodwork, straw garments, baskets, and colanders, and folk paintings such as Otsu-e, collected by Yanagi and others, as well as publications, photographs, and films from the time, illuminating Mingei and its internal and external social, historical, and economic context through more than 450 works and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of particular note are Mingei\u2019s modern approach to the processes of \u201cediting,\u201d primarily in the three fields of museum administration, publishing, and distribution, and the movement\u2019s local networks that linked people, goods, and information in various regions and promoted collaboration. The Mingei project expanded beyond the collection of aesthetically pleasing objects to the creation of systems including the production and distribution of newly made folk crafts, addressing social issues such as improvement of standards of living in rural areas, new ideas for food, clothing, and shelter, and preservation of scenery. Today, when the end of the \u201cmodern\u201d era has already become old news, what does a sustainable society and lifestyle look like? With this exhibition we re-examine the potential of the Folk Crafts Movement, which identified already existing local resources and reorganized relationships among people, goods, and information, from the perspective of a museum of modern art.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n    <div class=\"momat-button-download\">\n        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mingeilist_E-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n            List of Works        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-141x200.jpg 141w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-1087x1536.jpg 1087w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster-1449x2048.jpg 1449w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_mingei-poster.jpg 1521w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section01\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Traces relationships between Mingei\u2019s changes over time and Japanese society<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What was the historical context of Mingei\u2019s emergence and evolution? From the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, growth of the railway network, the rise of tourism to war and the Japanese nation-state, and rapid postwar economic growth, the Folk Crafts Movement is inextricably linked to modernization and its development has paralleled major milestones in society. This exhibition reveals various reasons Mingei is drawing renewed attention today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Portrait of Yanagi Soetsu at work: analysis of his design and editing methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yanagi was a philosopher of religion who focused on writing as he spearheaded the Folk Crafts Movement, but in fact he was a highly talented artist as well. He showed his gift for design and editing in various fields, sketching the objects he collected, designing fonts, cropping and arranging photographs, making drawings for buildings and products, and creating mountings for Otsu-e and other paintings. The exhibition explores Yanagi\u2019s \u201chandiwork\u201d and how it revealed and conveyed his aesthetic sense through various media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. From food, clothing and shelter to scenic preservation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Three-piece tweed suits, bow ties, round glasses,&nbsp;<em>samue<\/em>&nbsp;(Buddhist monks\u2019 workwear) worn in the studio: those associated with Mingei were a stylish group. Mingei was also involved with cuisine including shabu-shabu hot pot, Japanese-style curry, and local specialty sweets. The movement is well known for architecture involving aspects of traditional Japanese houses and incorporation of Windsor chairs and Japanese-Korean-Western fusion into interior design, but did you know that Mingei was also committed to preserving the scenery of the Tottori Sand Dunes?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section02\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibition Catalogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-9\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n    <div class=\"momat-button-gray-external\">\n        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kinbiopac.momat.go.jp\/opac\/opac_details\/?lang=1&amp;amode=11&amp;bibid=LB00250422\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Catalogue Information        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"364\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ac3d38ae31490a9adbff8cc0d8931ce7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ac3d38ae31490a9adbff8cc0d8931ce7.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ac3d38ae31490a9adbff8cc0d8931ce7-146x200.jpg 146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section03\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours &amp; Admissions<\/h2>\n\n\n<dl class=\"momat-dl\">\n    \n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Location<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Special Exhibition Gallery (1st floor) , Gallery 4 (2nd floor)<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Date<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>October 26, 2021\u2013February 13, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Time<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>10:00-17:00 ( Fridays and Saturdays open until 20:00 )<br>*Last admission : 30 minutes before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Closed<br \/>\r\n<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Mondays (except January 10, 2022), from December 28 to January 1, 2022,<br>and January 11, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Ticket<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Tickets can be purchased on site at the ticket counters, subject to their availability.<br>For further details and online purchase, please visit the&nbsp;Special Website (English Page),&nbsp;Special Website (Japanese version only).<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Admission<br \/>\r\n<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Adults \u00a51,800 (\u00a51,600)<br>College\/University students \u00a51,200 (\u00a51,000)<br>High School students \u00a5700 (\u00a5500)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Admission in the parentheses is for groups of 20 persons or more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All prices include tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission is free for Junior High School students, under 15, and those with Disability Certificates and one caregiver accompanying each of them.
