George Hood's 1921 work is a basic primer on all aspects of
horticulture for the novice gardener.
The idea of the spiritual nature of tea has long been part of
Japanese culture, and somewhat of a mystery to Western culture.
With the 1906 publication of Kakuzo Okakura's "The Book of Tea,"
this connection was made clear to American readers who were
beginning to see an upsurge of Japanese influence in the arts and
culture. Through his work, Okakura introduced the term "Teaism" and
explained to Western readers the influence tea, and its associated
ceremonies, had on every aspect of Japanese life. Written in
English, the work spoke to Westerners in terms they could
understand, explaining not only Zen and Taoism, but also the
secular aspects of tea, its simplicity and clarity, and its
influence on Japanese art and architecture. He ends the work with a
discussion of Tea Masters, particularly Sen no Rikyu's
contributions to the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Through this immensely
important work, Okakura guided Westerners into Japan's culture,
teaching an appreciation of its culture, its art, and its
philosophies.
