Taylor, I found it to be a very interesting read--intended to write and
thank Lee for alerting us to it. Is is long--but worth-the-while, I thought.

I think Morean points out flaws in Yanagi's approach. I explain
them a little differently than he does.

I think Mingei has lost its way here in Japan.
