The Japan Folk Crafts Museum

The main building/本館

the west building(the old house of Muneyoshi Yanagi)/西館(旧柳宗悦邸)

The other day, I went to the Japan Folk Crafts Museum which have the corrections of Muneyoshi Yanagi who is a father of Sori Yanagi.

However, it was worth while to notice that his old house which is the west building and the main building.

Especially, I notice that the stone of Oya has been worn at the wall outer walls of these buildings and the detail is various. 

In addition, the stairs of main building make an impression of Western-style.

It is not necessarily that these buildings is Japanese.

...But Japanese would be so.

"日本民藝館"

 先日、柳宗理の父、柳宗悦の収集品を展示している日本民藝館へ行った。

しかし、宗悦の旧家である西館や本館に注目してしまった。

特に外壁に大谷石が付けられているところやディテールの多様さ。

更に洋風の印象を受ける本館の階段。

日本民藝館だからと言って、一概に日本的ではない。

 ...いや、もしかしたらそれが日本的なのかも。
