日本各地に残る生活道具や仕事道具を、豊富なモノクロ写真とともに紹介した全4巻の資料集。
「町」「農村」「山・漁村」「周囲民族」という異なる生活圏から民具を収集し、衣食住にまつわる道具から、農具、漁具、籠、袋物、眼鏡、鍵など、多種多様な造形を記録しています。 用途に即して作られた名もなき道具の数々は、機能から生まれた簡潔な形や独特の素材使いが魅力的で、現在の視点から見るとプロダクトデザインや抽象彫刻のようにも見えてきます。民俗資料としてはもちろん、工芸、プロダクトデザイン、グラフィック、造形の資料として眺めても非常に面白いシリーズです。 第一巻「町」は看板や商売道具、遠藤武 解説　薗部澄 写真 第二巻「農村」は農具や生活用品、宮本常一 解説　薗部澄 写真 第三巻「山・漁村」は漁具、磯貝勇／桜田勝徳 解説　薗部澄 写真 第四巻「周囲民族」は樺太・台湾の道具、宮本馨太郎／八幡一郎 解説　薗部澄／遠藤頴彦 写真 写真は薗部澄、解説は遠藤武、宮本常一、磯貝勇、桜田勝徳。装丁は多川精一。 「民具」という言葉を提唱した民俗学者、澁澤敬三氏の追悼記念として出版されました。 全4巻揃い。外函に経年によるスレ、角傷み等あり。各巻の状態は概ね良好です。 Japanese Folk Art & Design – Complete 4-Volume Set A richly illustrated four-volume survey of Japanese folk tools, household objects, and vernacular material culture, organized by different environments and ways of life: Town, Rural Village, Mountain & Fishing Villages, and Neighboring Peoples. The books document a wide range of everyday objects, including agricultural and fishing tools, baskets, containers, clothing accessories, eyeglasses, bags, metal fittings, and other utilitarian objects. Photographed largely in black and white, the objects are presented with a strong emphasis on their form, structure, material, and function. Although published as an ethnographic and folkloric study, the series is also fascinating from the perspective of anonymous design, vernacular design, craft, product design, and material culture. Many of the objects have strikingly simple and functional forms that can appear surprisingly modern today, at times resembling abstract sculpture or contemporary industrial design. The set is also notable for its graphic presentation and distinctive slipcase, with each of the four volumes identified by a different color.
