In Pursuit of Composite Beauty: Yanagi Soetsu, His Aesthetics and Aspiration for

Description: In Pursuit of Composite Beauty by Mari Nakami In Pursuit of Composite Beauty is a study of the life and thought of Yanagi Soetsu (1889-1961), known primarily as the founder of Japans mingei (folk crafts) movement. Yanagi was a thinker who believed that world peace could not be achieved by painting the world in one single colour.Before and during World War II, when Japan was invading Asia and enforcing its cultural assimilation policy in its colonies and occupied territories, Yanagi aspired to realise a world in which multiple races and cultures could coexist. His pacifist thought rests on the idea of composite beauty, an ideal of creating a world in which heterogeneous entities can accept their differences and learn from each other.Tracing Yanagis intellectual development, this insightful and comprehensive book presents a positive reevaluation of the contemporary significance of his thought from the viewpoint of international relations, shedding light on the ways to achieve interdependence and mutual respect.
