When we wake up, the first thing we perceive is the touch of our sheets, the light that envelops us, the lamp we switch on, the shape and color of our breakfast tableware... From that moment until the end of the day, when we close our eyes again on the pillow fabric, our body will have encountered and interacted with an infinite number of diverse objects. These are modest, common, and ordinary things that we use constantly without paying them much attention. But objects are also constant companions in our lives, and as such, Soetsu Yanagi states, they must be made with care and built to last. They must be treated with respect and even affection. And they must perfectly combine beauty and utility.
Soetsu Yanagi is an essential thinker, hitherto unpublished in Spanish, and one of the key voices of the 20th century in drawing attention to the value of everyday objects and anonymous craftsmanship. This book, which compiles the Japanese critic's short essays, will teach us to look at our surroundings with new eyes and to admire the incredible material and intangible value of anonymous creations, always beautiful and honest, that are part of our daily lives.
