The Mingei movement in Osaka was first started by the founding of the Japan Crafts Museum by Miyake Chuichi (1900-1980), a member of the Mingei movement. Having read Yanagi Muneyoshi's The Way of Crafts, Miyake joined the Mingei movement and in 1950 established the Japan Crafts Museum in Osaka (now closed) to widely introduce the beauty of excellent crafts from all over Japan to the Kansai region. At the same time, he also turned his attention to the situation of various production areas, mainly in Kyushu, and made an effort to produce and support crafts. However, Miyake had doubts about the way the movement was conducted at the time, so in 1959 he left the Japan Folk Crafts Association, where Yanagi was the chairman, and founded the Japan Folk Crafts Association. From then on, he developed his own Mingei movement based on the Japan Crafts Museum and the Japan Folk Crafts Association.

My favorite neighborhood in Kyoto! I really enjoyed walking through the streets of Gion, the traditional geisha neighborhood. The traditional Japanese architecture and atmosphere are hard to explain in words. It&rsquo;s a quiet neighborhood, and like almost everywhere in Japan, take your time to walk around these streets.

Please visit if you are in Osaka for cherry blossom! Many locals also come here. Do drop by the mall nearby. It may seem ordinary but the shops arent! You can easily spend half a day here!
