🇬🇧 In the age of hyperconsumerism, reading a book like The Beauty of Everday Things is like meditating. I’m so glad I’m reading this! ♥️ Soetsu Yanagi was a Japanese philosopher and founder of the mingei movement in Japan in the late 1920s and 1930s. He also helped establish the Japan Folk Crafts Museum. This book is a collection of his essays about mingei (folk art) movement and one can easily see that Yanagi almost begs the readers to deepen their relationship with the things they use everyday. He advocates the idea that our everday objects should be things of beauty since we see & use them all the time, and that they should be made with care & built to last. 🖤 Interested in Japanese culture? Want to learn more about mingei? You’ll love these essays! . ⛩ Question: Are you interested in different cultures? Which countries pique your interest? ⛩ . 🇹🇷 Tüketimin hayatımızın tek amacı olduğu şu zamanda Japon bir filozofun kitabını okumayıp da ne yapacaktım bilemiyorum. 😂 Soetsu Yanagi, her gün kullandığımız eşyaların güzel, dayanıklı, doğal ürünler olmasını çünkü bu eşyaları her gün gördüğümüzü ve ‘güzellik’ anlayışımızı bunların etkilediğini anlatıyor. Japonya’da mingei hareketini ortaya çıkaran Yanagi aynı zamanda Japan Folk Crafts Museum kurucularından. Evdeki eşyaları tekrar gözden geçirirken satın alma kararlarımı da güncelliyorum yavaş yavaş. Her kitapla biraz daha iyiye doğru değişmek kadar güzeli yok! 🥰 . ⛩ Soru: Farklı kültürlerle ilgileniyor musunuz? Hangi ülkeler aklınızı çeliyor? ⛩ . . . #soetsuyanagi #mingei #thebeautyofeverydaythings #japaneseculture #japanese #japanesefolkart #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction #kurgudışı #essays #bookselfie #selfiewithabook #bookcoverdesign #japonya #japonkültürü #okumahalleri #kitap #kitapaşkı #kitapkurdu #bookaddiction #booklove #kitapokuyorum #diversebooks #bookaholics #readersofinstagram #kitapsevgisi #booklr #reader (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHqLWPJtAq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11wiegpxsmg1f

Reposting @champ_magazine:⠀ ...⠀ "TOKYO, JAPAN: 🇯🇵 “There is something indescribably charming about the objects created by selfless hands of someone who is neither an artist, nor a craftsman.” An extraordinary exhibition highlighting Japanese ‘Mingei’ handcrafted daily items, has opened at Tokyo’s 21-21 Design Sight. ‘Mingei’ was the term created by #SoetsuYanagi in 1925 for handicrafts made by anonymous craftspeople, creating beauty in everyday items. Curated by product designer #NaotoFukasawa, the exhibition includes his own collection of Kogei pieces which he explains being “enthralled by an attitude of honest creation”. • [#MINGEI - Another Kind Of Art] is on view at 21-21 Design Sight in Tokyo, until 24 February 2019. #民藝" https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxNfdOg90F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15ie6re1w150o
