The Folk Arts of Japan by Dr. Hugo Munsterberg deals with a rediscovered branch of Japanese art which, in straightfoward beauty of its products, is currently delighting the Western world. Although these folkcraft creations have their roots in the country's ancient and colorful art tradition, their unassuming grace makes them unmistakably in harmony with modern functional design.

Here Dr. Munsterberg bringing to his work the fruits of four years of study in Japan and a deep knowledge of Oriental culture, makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive guide and commentary on this significant branch of Japan's varied arts.
