Soetsu Yanagi was one of the first proponents of the Mingei movement and collected many beautiful Korean pieces, which are renowned today. This tour will visit the Japan Folk Crafts Museum, which has become an artistic bridge between Japan and Korea. We will see the exhibition, Yanagi Soetsu & Old Tamba Pottery, celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the museum. We will also visit Yanagi’s nearby home, which will be specially open that day.
Please join us for this tour of the world of Soetsu Yanagi, which will be guided by Kyoko Mimura of the Museum’s international division. |

To get to the Mingeikan, take the Keio Inokashira Line from Shibuya Station (make sure not to get on an express) and get off at the second stop, Komaba-Todaimae. Walk out of the station and under the tracks and turn left. Follow that road until it curves to the right, about a seven-minute walk.
