"Essays by Sori Yanagi" is the English edition of the Japanese design master’s first collection of writings, originally published at age 88. This book offers a glimpse into Yanagi’s life, works, and design philosophy, complemented by photographs.

It also delves into his family background, with special focus on his father, Soetsu Yanagi, founder of Japan’s "mingei" (folk art) movement.

Yanagi’s simple, beautiful, and practical designs—spanning from furniture to Olympic cauldrons—are celebrated worldwide, with pieces exhibited in the MoMA and the Louvre.
