The Book of Tea is a fascinating examination of Japanese thought
and culture through its most central element - the tea ceremony. It
was written in 1906, at a time when Japan was becoming a major
player on the international scene. Author Kakuzo Okakura's fluency
in English and expertise in the traditional arts rendered him
uniquely qualified to help promote understanding between Japan and
the West. The book offers a detailed account of the spiritual and
philosophical significance of "the way of tea," tracing it's Taoist
and Zen Buddhist roots, as well as a more material look at the
effects of tea on Japanese life. Enlightening and entertaining, The
Book of Tea is an unmissable classic.
