Getting Cultured

Yesterday morning we decided to take a field trip to the Musee duQuai Branly to see an exhibit on Japanese design, l'Esprit Mingei au Japon.


It was an interesting exhibit, highlighting Japanese design of everyday objects, created by unknown artists, and using traditional techniques. On display were many pieces of pottery, handmade textiles from Okinawa made using palm fibers, and many pieces created using bamboo.
