" Kingdom of Beauty is first-rate. Kim Brandt's analysis is sharp, her organization supple, her writing graceful.

I am deeply struck by the manner in which the author has approached often contentious topics with unabated tenacity, integrity, and sincerity." -- Asian Ethnology "[A]n impressive narrative of mingei's cultural history . . . . Kingdom of Beauty is a rigorous scholarly work, much of which is based on Brandt's judicious use of Japanese primary resources. It is beautifully written, and benefits from the inclusion of numerous . . . plates of mingei wares. Brandt's argument is tight, comprehensive and engaging and, most importantly, groundbreaking in its excavation of the complex social forces at work and the entities associated with mingei's ascent in the first half of last century." -- Penny Bailey Asian Studies Review, " Kingdom of Beauty is first-rate.

Synopsis
A Study of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University " Kingdom of Beauty" shows that the discovery of "mingei" (folk art) by Japanese intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s was central to the complex process by which Japan became both a modern nation and an imperial world power. Kim Brandt's account of the mingei movement locates its origins in colonial Korea, where middle-class Japanese artists and collectors discovered that imperialism offered them special opportunities to amass art objects and gain social, cultural, and even political influence. Later, mingei enthusiasts worked with (and against) other groups--such as state officials, fascist ideologues, rival folk art organizations, local artisans, newspaper and magazine editors, and department store managers--to promote their own vision of beautiful prosperity for Japan, Asia, and indeed the world. In tracing the history of mingei activism, Brandt considers not only Yanagi Muneyoshi, Hamada Sh�ji, Kawai Kanjir�, and other well-known leaders of the folk art movement but also the often overlooked networks of provincial intellectuals, craftspeople, marketers, and shoppers who were just as important to its success. The result of their collective efforts, she makes clear, was the transformation of a once-obscure category of pre-industrial rural artifacts into an icon of modern national style., A Study of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University Kingdom of Beauty shows that the discovery of mingei (folk art) by Japanese intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s was central to the complex process by which Japan became both a modern nation and an imperial world power.
