<P> The Arts and Crafts movement was an international movement in the decorative and fine arts that began in Britain and flourished in Europe and North America between about 1880 and 1920, emerging in Japan (the Mingei movement) in the 1920s . It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms, and often used medieval, romantic, or folk styles of decoration . It advocated economic and social reform and was essentially anti-industrial . It had a strong influence on the arts in Europe until it was displaced by Modernism in the 1930s, and its influence continued among craft makers, designers, and town planners long afterwards . </P> <P> The term was first used by T.J. Cobden - Sanderson at a meeting of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1887, although the principles and style on which it was based had been developing in England for at least twenty years . It was inspired by the ideas of architect Augustus Pugin, writer John Ruskin, and designer William Morris . </P>
