More about ESUJ |
| Visit to the Japan Folk
Craft Museum, March 2007 |
On March 10(Sat),thirty-three ESUJ
members,including several non-Japanese members visited
the museum in Komaba,founded by aestheticist Soetsu Yanagi. He was also active in
literature
through the influence of William Morris's poetry, his exchanges with Bernard Leach
and his par-
ticipation in Shirakaba group. He visited Korea more than 20 times and introduced
Korai celadon
and white celadon to the world. The visitors were fascinated by the special
exhibition "Yanagi
Soetsu and Old Tamba Pottery" celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the founding
of the museum.
Next, the group toured the Yanagi house. The library and the shelves fully packed
with books
seemed to have been left as it was when he was alive and told us everything about
Soetsu Yanagi
who devoted himself in pursuing the beauty of folk crafts.
