The Heart of Mingei （2023.3.22）
This spring, the Hachirō Yuasa Memorial Museum celebrates its fortieth anniversary of opening with the special exhibition, “The Heart of Mingei,” and the publication of The Heart of Mingei.
The Heart of Mingei is a transcription of the first, and sadly the last, lecture series on mingei given to ICU students by Dr. Yuasa in 1978. It was originally edited as the first booklet for ICU’s General Education Program, and was later published to commemorate the opening of the Museum in 1982.
Dr. Yuasa’s strong will to pass on his vision of life through mingei and his vision on the educational ideals of ICU are clearly presented in this publication. The Museum hopes to reach out to a wider range of readers; the new edition contains new color plates and a full English translation by Dr. M. William Steele.
The Heart of Mingei. (paperback, 300 pages) can be purchased at the Museum, or from Kyobunkwan's store or online.
