內容簡介
这位日本哲学家兼美学家对其民间工艺哲学的权威且极具影响力的阐述,奠定了我们今天所知的日本设计的特征:匿名、高质量、简单和诚实——当然,还有侘寂,即不完美之美。
我们的生活充满了各式各样的物品。日常生活中使用的日常用品,是我们永恒的伴侣。因此,柳宗悦写道,它们应该精心制作,经久耐用,受到尊重,甚至是喜爱。它们应该是自然的、简单的、坚固的和安全的——一种满足我们实际需要的美学。简而言之,它们应该是美的东西。
长久以来,他一直被尊为日本工艺和美学的权威,为了捍卫工艺的价值,他献出了自己的生命和写作。在这个机器制造的东西既脆弱又丑陋的时代,日常事物的美要求我们每个人加深与周围事物的关系。这本经典著作的灵感来自于柳宗悦在日本和韩国旅行时遇到的简单工匠的作品,它真心实意地为谦逊、诚实、手工制作的物品辩护,从传统茶杯到罐子再到纸——这些物品体现了日常事物的美丽。
The Japanese philosopher and aesthete's definitive, hugely influential exposition of his philosophy of folkcrafts, setting out the hallmarks of Japanese design as we know it today: anonymity, quality, simplicity and honesty--and, of course, wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection。
Our lives are filled with objects. Everyday things used in everyday settings, they are our constant companions. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe--an aesthetic fulfillment of our practical needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty.
Long revered as the authority on craftsmanship and Japanese aesthetics, Yanagi devoted his life and writing to defend the value of craft. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, The Beauty of Everyday Things is a call for each of us to deepen our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple artisans Yanagi encountered on his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, this now-classic book is a heartfelt defence of modest, honest, handcrafted objects, from traditional teacups to jars to paper--objects that exemplify the beauty of everyday things.
