The popular art objects presented in this catalogue have been created for common people by tradesmen and unknown artists. The tools were fabricated by hand using natural materials characteristic of the local area. This publication offers us, therefore, a glimpse of the so-called anonymous art of Japan, developed in tune with a system of living which today is being lost.
