“民芸品” (mingei-hin) refers to traditional folk crafts that are created by local artisans. These items often reflect the culture, history, and daily life of a specific region. They can include pottery, textiles, woodwork, and other handmade goods, showcasing the skills and creativity of the craftsmen. The movement of 民芸品 began in Japan during the early 20th century, emphasizing the value of everyday objects made with care and artistry. This movement aimed to preserve traditional techniques and promote the appreciation of simple, functional beauty in items used in daily life, contrasting with mass-produced goods.
