Japanese Folk Art refers to traditional crafts and artistic expressions that reflect the everyday life and culture of Japan. This art form includes various mediums such as pottery, textiles, and woodwork, often characterized by their functional use and aesthetic appeal. Notable examples include Bizen pottery, known for its rustic beauty, and Boro textiles, which showcase the art of mending and repurposing fabric. The roots of Japanese Folk Art can be traced back to rural communities, where artisans created items for daily use. These crafts often incorporate local materials and techniques, resulting in unique regional styles. The movement to preserve and promote these traditions gained momentum in the 20th century, leading to the establishment of the Mingei movement, which celebrates the beauty of everyday objects.
