Simple and wholesome beauty

民藝（Mingei, meaning ordinary people's crafts) is one of my interests.
The term was coined by 柳宗悦（Soetsu Yanagi) who was a Japanese art critic, philosopher (1889-1961).
The word mingei refers to a concept and a movement to advocate folk crafts such as textile and pottery that have been developed originally in a specific region and manufactured by anonymous craftsmen in this industrialized and uniform world. Mingei focuses the simple and wholesome beauty that resides in traditional easy-to-use daily articles.

I want to visit 日本民藝館（The Japan Folk Crafts Museum）in Tokyo, where many master pieces of mingei are exhibited, but the COVID-19 situation in Tokyo makes me hesitate.
