Bernard Leach: Works from the Collection of the Japan Folk Crafts Museum

Bernard Leach, a leading figure in the Japanese folk art movement alongside Yanagi Sōetsu, embodied the aesthetic ideals of the “anonymous craftsman” that Yanagi championed. He established a pottery workshop within Yanagi’s estate in Abiko, and later, his works found their natural home in the Japan Folk Crafts Museum, founded by Yanagi himself. This volume showcases key pieces from the museum’s collection, offering a renewed appreciation of Leach’s artistic contributions and their enduring significance.
