The Mingei gallery selected 13 works for the Mingei Bamboo Prize 2023. They were all exhibited during the Parcours des Mondes from September 5 to 10, 2023.

A jury selected young artist Jyunpei Hayashi as the winner of the prize. The public voted for the young artist Youna Ichikawa for the Parcours des Mondes-Mingei prize.

These two artists are part of the studio of Tanabe Chikuunsai IV, previous winner of the prize.

The Mingei gallery thanks the Parcours des Mondes for its essential partnership.

The yūgen translates as deep beauty, mysterious beauty, or subtle charm.

It is a concept of Japanese aesthetics applied to the arts, literature and poetry.

It has been theorized by poets like Fujiwara no Shunzei and Fujiwara no Teika as well as the playwright Zeami.

The yūgen refers to the understanding and nostalgic evocation of the mysterious beauty of the world. It is not about appealing to the imaginary or describing concrete reality, but seeing the world as endowed with an implicit depth that artists can subtly express.

The yūgen therefore often takes the form of mystery, depth, elegance and nostalgia associated with the ancient aristocratic culture.
