Detailed Description

Mingei, which means “ordinary people’s art” in Japanese, is a 20th-century art movement that celebrates the beauty of everyday objects. Mingei artists believed that everyone, not just trained artists, could create art. They believed that art should be accessible to everyone and that everyone could find beauty in everyday objects. Mingei artists often used traditional Japanese techniques and materials, such as woodblock printing, ceramics, and textiles. One of the most famous Mingei artists is Kanjiro Kawai, who was a potter. Mingei has had a lasting impact on Japanese art and culture. The movement helped to revive traditional Japanese crafts and techniques and to promote the idea that everyone can be an artist.
