…It is often thought that the Teiten-style crafts and folk arts are unrelated, but originally, both were antipodean reactions to the modern Japanese culture that had been built by the utilitarian spirit of the Meiji era. In 1926, Yanagi Muneyoshi, the leader of the movement, published the “Statement of Purpose for the Establishment of the Japanese Folk Crafts Museum” in collaboration with ceramic artists Tomimoto Kenkichi, Kawai Kanjiro, and Hamada Shoji, which set the movement’s ideological direction. In 1927, he put his ideas into practice by forming the Kamigamo Folk Crafts Association with dyer and weaver Aota Goro (1898-1935) and woodworker Kuroda Tatsuaki (1904-82). Yanagi’s ideas, influenced by the British craftsman W. Morris, were originally intended to produce today’s household items based on the beauty seen in everyday utensils of the past. … *Some of the terminology used in reference to the Kamigamo Folk Crafts Association is listed below.
