Anotations

Scope note:

Genre of Japanese folk art conforming to the principle of the inseparability of beauty and high utility in everyday practical objects of the common people; traditional craft methods without conscious aesthetic intent govern the production of the objects of the genre. Distinguished from the utilitarian goods of the aristocracy, which consciously strove for aesthetic effect, and from the everyday utilitarian products of modern industrialization; genre defined and term used since 1920s.
