โKogeiโ was published by Soetsu Yanagi from Jurakusha in 1931, and later changed to the Japan Folk Art Association, and continued until the final issue of issue 120 in 1951. Many of the bindings, which are said to be crafts because of their beauty, are made by decorating the designs of Serizawa Serizawa with hand-woven cloth or urushi-e, and there are also those bound with Munakata Shiko โs prints. The text was written by Soetsu Yanagi, Kanjiro Kawai , Kenkichi Tomimoto , Shoji Hamada and others using various Japanese papers, and played an important role as a bulletin for the Mingei movement to enlighten the โbeauty of lifeโ.
