Written over a century ago when Japan was abandoning its rich traditions to embrace the hysteria of colonization, this classic written by Okakura Kakuzo helped preserve the masterpieces of Japanese art and culture by illuminating the spirit of the Japanese Tea Masters.
The Book of Tea doesn’t focus on the Tea Ceremony itself, but the Zen Buddhist thought behind it known as the Way of Tea or
Chado.
Kakuzo teaches us to listen to the language of flowers as well as the language of art.
His considerable charm is as apparent today as it was one hundred years ago as he introduces us to the aesthetic and culture of Japan.
This edition has a new foreword by Andrew Juniper who runs the Wabi-Sabi Art Gallery in West Sussex, England and an introduction by Liza Dalby, the first American woman to be fully trained as a geisha in the 70’s.
