二十世纪以来，日本对传统工艺一直进行着保护、传承和研究。今天的日本，许多手工艺作坊仍然得以最原生态的方式存在。研究者们对老艺人、老作坊的工作、生存状态进行了全程记录，并对其制作工艺和作品，进行归纳和总结，在有限的资源里，最大限度地保留了一批珍贵的历史资料。这样的行动不仅得益于政府的重视和全民族的文化认知，尤为重要的是日本国民对于传统文化采取的尊重、爱惜的态度。 这其中，有一套《民艺业书》丛书的编撰方式引起我的注意，因此翻译了全套丛书，一来介绍日本的民间工艺、二来介绍日本在保护民间艺术时所使用的研究方法，以供我国的工艺美术研究者和从业者学习、借鉴。 Since the twentieth century, Japan has been carrying out protection, inheritance and research on traditional crafts. Today’s Japan, many handicraft workshops still exist in the most original way. The researchers recorded the work and living conditions of old artists and old workshops throughout the process and summarized and summarized their production techniques and works. In a limited amount of resources, they kept a batch of precious historical materials. Such actions not only benefit from the government’s attention and cultural awareness of the whole nation, but especially the Japanese citizens’ respect and care for the traditional culture. Among these, a compilation of the book “Folk Art Books” caught my attention. Therefore, I translated a whole series of books to introduce Japanese folk crafts. Secondly, I introduced the research methods used by Japan in protecting folk arts. For our arts and crafts researchers and practitioners learn from.
