Mingei

Mingei is a fancy word that grown-ups use to describe simple and beautiful things that people make by hand. It includes objects like pottery, wooden toys, and even clothes that are made using old-fashioned ways instead of machines.

Now, imagine you are playing with your toys and you decide to make a little house out of sticks and leaves. That is a great example of mingei because it is something that you made with your own hands, and it didn't require fancy tools or machines. Just like how grown-ups admire handmade things, they also admire things made by kids like you!
