Pursuit Composite Beauty Aesthetics Aspiration
In Pursuit of Composite Beauty is a study of the life and thought of Yanagi Soetsu (1889-1961), known primarily as the founder of Japan's mingei (folk crafts) movement. Mr. Yanagi was a thinker who believed that world peace could not be achieved by 'painting the world in one single color.' Before and for the duration of World War II, when Japan was invading Asia and enforcing it is cultural assimilation policy in it is colonies and occupied territories, Yanagi aspired to realize a world in which multiple races and cultures could coexist. His pacifist thought rests on the idea of 'composite beauty,' an idealisti of creating a world in which heterogeneous entities may receive their deviations and learn from each other. Tracing Yanagi's intellectual development, this perceptive and comprehensive book presents a positive reevaluation of the contemporary significance of his thought from the standpoint of international relations, shedding light on the ways to achieve interdependence and mutual respect.
