YANAGI speaks [through BL's translation]: he rejects the comparison between himself on the one hand, and Enshu and Riklcyu on the other. "They are thought of in Tea Circles as Gods. R's [sic] style & E's [§ie] taste are regarded as the foundations of beauty, but the question is, can I pay respect to what they did, & can I respect them as men & as arbiters of beauty [?]" Enshu's taste is over-elaborate, and Rikkyu made use of influential men to reach a position of power - in fact, he made Tea "— the servant of a power complex. Thus he used it to that end and also to make money". Yanagi rejects his comparison with these two men. Entitled: "Myself and Rikyu [sifi]"! 13860 1954 June 27 -317- COPY ADDRESS [by Walter Gropius?] given at the American Cultural Centre, Kyoto, entitled "My conception of the Bauhaus idea", with marginal comments by BL. 1 file; typescript; 8pp. 13861 [1954]

At 3.15pm, "Bernard Leach will speak" [sic]. On the dorse are the notes of BL's speech: this is a significant moment in the "history of crafts and of the concept of work itself; this is a step in cultural evolution, "the boundaries in our life times have stretched to world compass"; his own role as messenger between East and West; "I have taken part in the foundation of the Japanese Craft Society & its late founder, Dr. Yanagi, was my great friend for 50 years. Mr. Hamada is now its leader. This Japanese movement was the Buddhist equivalent of Wm. Moms' [sic] here in England a century ago — Hamada's & Tomimoto's pots are a proof of my contention"; he claims that the Japanese movement is as significant as that of Gropius's Bauhaus; he looks forward to a formulation of world standards, and a policy and cash resources to realise them.
