Folk Art Potters of Japan: Beyond an Anthropology of Aesthetics
by Brian Moeran
Anthropology of Asia
“[This volume’s] focus is on the northern Kyushu pottery community, Sarayama, its social organization, and relationship to the Japanese folk craft movement (mingei) established by Yanagi Soetsu in the 1920s. Moeran provides analyses that are thorough, at times brilliant, and constantly compare the theories of Yanagi to the actual workings of the community.” —Choice
