When we wake up, the first thing we notice is the feel of our sheets, the light that surrounds us from the lamp we turn on, the shape and colour of the breakfast dishes... From that moment until the end of the day, when we close our eyes again on the fabric of our pillow, our body will have encountered and encountered an infinite number of different objects. These are modest, common and ordinary things, which we use constantly without paying much attention to them. But objects are also constant companions in our lives and, as such, says Soetsu Yanagi , they must be made with care and manufactured 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Soetsu Yanagi is an essential thinker, hitherto unpublished in Spanish, and one of the key voices of the 20th century in drawing attention to the value of everyday objects and anonymous craftsmanship.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 around us 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.
