The Book of Tea (1906) is a book-length essay by Okakura Kakuzo.
Connected to the author's overall project of celebrating Japanese
culture and emphasizing the role of the East in creating the modern
world, The Book of Tea is considered a classic work on the subject.
His description of chado, or teaism, remains incredibly influential
in England and around the Western world. "[Teaism] insulates purity
and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the
social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it
is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this
impossible thing we know as life." Part philosophy, part history,
The Book of Tea explores the role of tea in shaping the arts and
culture of Japan, China, and the world. Beginning with an
investigation of the historical uses of tea, Okakura reflects on
the specific techniques of tea brewing, the connections between tea
and religion, and the interconnection of tea and the creative arts.
Informative and meditative, The Book of Tea is an essential work
for tea drinkers everywhere. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Okakura Kakuzo's
The Book of Tea is a classic of Japanese literature reimagined for
modern readers.
