Objects and Beauty

About This Novel
This book is one of the representative works of Mr. Etsu Yanagi, the father of Japanese folk arts. Mr. Yanagi Soetsu wrote these famous essays with a love for objects and rich collection experience. He recorded the stories of these objects together with his own perception of "creation", and thought about the nature of creation from the perspective of a folk artist. He believes that beautiful things are those things that are integrated into daily life and exist for granted. Objects will only come alive in life. He cherishes every encounter with beautiful things, and in these encounters, he has completed questioning and thinking about what "beauty" is. The book not only contains stories about the objects, but also wonderful stories between people about the objects. If you want to improve your appreciation, you must first learn to abandon all constraints. This learning process is like religious practice. If you do this, beauty will be invisible to you. --Liu Zongyue.
