Journey Through Chinese Handicrafts

A 10-year journey in search of the "living" folk tools of China's ethnic minorities, wandering deep into the country's remote regions.

Written by Shinobu Okumura, the owner of Mingei Okumura, a shop specializing in handcrafted everyday goods from Japan and around the world, this book focuses on his annual travels to China, particularly Yunnan and Guizhou.

Texts are in Japanese, but the book is filled with inspiring images capturing the rarely seen real life of these hidden places.
