4.0 out of 5 stars Mingei ceramics up close, September 13, 2000
This review is from: Folk Art Potters of Japan: Beyond an Anthropology of Aesthetics (Anthropology of Asia Series) (Hardcover)
This book provides excellent material for anyone interested in the Japanese Mingei (folk craft) movement or the field of "folk art" in general. The author deals with the philosophical underpinnings of the movement as a whole, the affect that the movement had on potters from the village of Sarayama, the details of Sarayama's social organization and day-to-day life and the changes that have occurred as Sarayama potters developed a national and even international reputation.

Moeran knows both the Mingei movement and Sarayama well. He himself is a potter; he has done in depth field work over a lengthy period of time enabling him to present the roles of the intellectuals, the critics, the potters, the dealers and the client with clarity.
