MING

Ming is a general term for tools that people have created and used for their daily needs. From simple items handmade by those who use tools to items made by craftsmen, they are synonymous with everyday necessities. But it is different from the mass-produced products of modern industry. In the lives of people who have not left their names in history or books since ancient times, folk tools show the wisdom of living concretely. Many folk crafts have been devised in a minimal life without luxury and have pursued functionality. This has been repeated and inherited over the years. Rationality is concentrated there. Many of them are also artistic from a modern human perspective. However, folk crafts do not require decorative design, and ease of use is important. The resulting simple beauty is a practical beauty that adds an artistic addition to solid practicality. Folk crafts are witnesses of history. We “MING”, pay tribute to such folk art tools and introduce those that can be used as future tools. From the great northern country in 2021.
