'Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage,' are the opening
words of Okakura Kakuzo's The Book of Tea, written in English in
1906 for a Western audience. The book is a long essay celebrating
the secular art of the Japanese tea ceremony and linking its
importance with Zen Buddhism and Taoism. It is both about cultural
life, aesthetics and philosophy, emphasising how Teaism - a term
Kakuzo coined - taught the Japanese many things; most importantly,
simplicity, which can be seen in Japanese art and architecture.
Looking back at the evolution of the Japanese tea ceremony, Kakuzo
argues that Teaism, in itself, is one of the profound universal
remedies that two parties could sit down to. Where the West had
scoffed at Eastern religion and morals, it held Eastern tea
ceremonies in high regard. With a new introduction, this is an
exquisitely produced edition of a classic text made using
traditional Chinese bookbinding techniques. Surely it's time for
tea.

Their bellies may stretch their spandex beyond saving and their capes
may only fly after a large ominous-sounding fart, but - make no mistake
- dads are superheroes. Well, half the time, at least. Because, let's
not forget, when it comes to cocking things up, dads are also
incredibly self-sufficient. Ignored by mums everywhere and taken
advantage by babies of all ages, being a dad is arguably the world's
toughest job (after motherhood, of course). Overworked, underpaid and
constantly in need of feeding, dads deserve just as
much attention, validation and an equal share of the duvet as
mums, and yet often have to settle for second best. From taxi-ing
teenagers to funding fun, juggling jobs to half-arsing house chores,
dads simply are the best. Even at their hungover worst.
This Little Book of Dad is a celebration of dad-hood, daddy-ing and all
the dad-based shenanigans that comes with it. And it couldn't be more
timely. With Netflix, YouTube and Fortnite - all of whom are much more
fun than you - there has never been a better time in history to sit
back, relax and just enjoy the wonders of fatherhood. In 2020, as a
study showed that “dad bods” are more desirable than six-pack abs,
Welbeck Books decided it was time to give props to the parent most
likely to their children in the supermarket a book that dads can be
proud to call their own. Consider this tiny tome a bedside companion
for exhausted dads of all strange shapes, sizes and smells, which, last
time we looked, was all of them.
