Japanese Mingei Folk Crafts - Manami Okazaki - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Mingei Folk Crafts - Manami Okazaki - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"In an age when so much of our time is spent staring at screens, it is easy to understand why the warmth, intimacy and idiosyncrasies of hand craftsmanship should seem alluring…the term Mingei describes useful, unobtrusive, beautifully crafted objects." —Alice Rawsthorn, The New York TimesThe Mingei Folk Crafts movement, founded by philosopher and art historian Soetsu Yanagi and potters Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro in the early 20th century, celebrates the utilitarian designs in functional objects hand-crafted by village artisans throughout Japan. This book offers an illustrated guide to Japan's rich folk craft traditions and shows why the Mingei philosophy is even more relevant today than it was a century ago. Folk crafts have become associated with the Slow Life movement and the Wabi Sabi philosophy which values simple and imperfect items above the bright and shiny mass-produced objects of our modern culture. This book introduces 34 fascinating Japanese folk craft traditions—ranging from popular, widely-known ones to many lesser-known crafts that are equally exquisite but rarely seen. The crafts covered here include:Aizome Hand-dyed Indigo Textiles which use the leaves of the indigo plant to produce a rich, deep-blue colorBizen, the unique unglazed pottery with an earthy, rustic appearance—and simple, charming designsChochin Lanterns made of handmade washi paper stretched over a bamboo frame, found outside restaurants and temples, including the famous example at the entrance to Tokyo's Sensoji TempleEdo Furin Wind Chimes made of delicate hand-blown glass, one of the iconic symbols—and sounds—of the hot and humid Japanese summersInuharuko Papier Mache Toy Dogs, adorable pups that have acted as good-luck symbols since the Edo periodManeki Neko Beckoning Cats, one of the most popular folk crafts in Japan, with their right paw raised to bring in money and good luckTenugui Cloths, dyed using the chusen method to provide delicate color gradations and used as kitchen cloths, for wrapping or to wear as a scarf, as well as for framing since they are so beautiful!Author Manami Okazaki describes each craft in loving detail and interviews nine talented folk artists specializing in unique crafts like Koginzashi Needlework, Bingata Dyed Fabrics and Warazaiku Rice Straw Crafts. This beautifully-illustrated book will be treasured by folk art collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. It features 400 color photographs and a comprehensive guide to buying Japanese folk crafts both inside and outside Japan.

When Buddhists Attack - Jeffrey K. Mann - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When Buddhists Attack - Jeffrey K. Mann - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Uncover the historical truth about Buddhist warrior monks with this informative and enlightening book. Exploring the origins of Buddhism and the ethos of the Japanese samurai, university professor and martial arts practitioner Jeffrey Mann traces the close connection between the Buddhist way of compassion and the way of the warrior. This zen book serves as a basic introduction to the history, philosophy, and current practice of Zen as it relates to the Japanese martial arts. It examines the elements of Zen that have found a place in budo—the martial way—such as zazen, mushin, zanshin and fudoshin, then goes on to discuss the ethics and practice of budo as a modern sport. Offering insights into how qualities integral to the true martial artist are interwoven with this ancient religious philosophy, this Buddhism book will help practitioners reconnect to an authentic spiritual discipline of the martial arts. Film, television and popular fiction have long exploited the image of the serene Buddhist monk who is master of the deadly craft of hand-to-hand combat. While these media overly romanticize the relationship between a philosophy of non-violence and the art of fighting, When Buddhists Attack: The Curious Relationship Between Zen and the Martial Arts shows this link to be nevertheless real, even natural.
