About This Item
Rutland, VT: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1982. hardcover. Book NF: clean, square, tight, unmarked. Slipcover G: mild wear, bowed cardboard/no DJ. 8vo 168pp. twelfth printing 1982. 110 gravure plates 18 color plates. preface by Soetsu Yanagi. from front flap: "The Folk Arts of Japan, by Dr. Hugo Munsterberg, deals with a rediscovered branch of Japanese art which, in the straightforward beauty of its products, is currently delighting the Western world. Although these folkcraft creations have their roots in the country's ancient and colorful art tradition, their unassuming grace makes them unmistakably in harmony with modern functional design. Ironically, present-day interest in folk art comes at the very time when Western craft arts have all but succumbed to the competition of mass production, and the lover of plain handcraft beauty finds himself turning more and more to such countries as Japan and Sweden, where even in the face of industrialization a flourishing stronghold of the true folk-art tradition has survived." #01966.
