• Yanagi found beauty in objects for ordinary, everyday use - those created by nameless and unknown craftsmen. • He described these objects made by the common people as “beyond beauty and ugliness”. • He believed a criterion for establishing what is meingiis a quality called the "Eternal Now," a state in which all dual distinctions, such as old and new, are eliminated.

143


Handcrafted art of the ordinary people •

Yanagi theorized that the arduous repetition of work brought

total disengagement of self; no hesitation, anxiety, or ambition in creation.

•Submissive reliance on tariki (other power) or the "Greater

Power" resulted in the production of warm items through the medium of man.

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Yanagi described • tradition as the

accumulation of wisdom and experience a

"Given Power" that

enabls the individual to "produce work of
