Story
For a generation adjusting painfully to the demands of a modern industrial and commercial society, Asia came to represent an alternative vision of the good life: aesthetically austere, socially aristocratic and imbued with spirituality. The Book of Tea was originally written in English and sought to address the inchoate yearnings of disaffected Westerners. In a flash of inspiration, Okakura saw that the formal tea party as practiced in New England was a distant cousin of the Japanese tea ceremony, and that East and West had thus 'met in the tea-cup'.

Story
The Book of Tea (1906) by Okakura Kakuzō is a long essay which examines the role of chadō (Teaism) in the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. The author explains Teaism as “a philosophy founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence”. Originally written in English for a western audience, the essay deals with the spiritual traditions of Zen and Taoism, as well as the secular side of tea in Japanese life.

Story
The Book of Tea is much more than a book about tea. It's a celebration of the arts and culture of Japan, and a portrait of tea ceremony, the "Way of Tea", as the pinnacle of Japanese spirituality and artistic life. Written in 1906 by Kakuzo Okakura, curator of Chinese and Japanese Art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and a noted scholar and art critic, this modern classic traces the history of tea from its early medicinal uses in China, through the development of Chinese tea culture, and finally to the role of tea in Japanese Zen, culture, and politics.

Story
This is the classic text on the famous Japanese art of making tea. It is a wonderful meditation on how the making and drinking of tea are akin to a meditative practice, such as is done more formally in Zazen (sitting meditation).

Story
À la fois poétique et intelligent, apaisant et vivifiant, "Le livre du thé", destiné aux lecteurs occidentaux, permet de mieux appréhender les subtilités de la culture asiatique. Véritable traité philosophique, il interroge le sens de nos existences et notre rapport à l'environnement. "La philosophie du thé n'est pas une simple esthétique dans l'acception ordinaire du terme, car elle nous aide à exprimer, conjointement avec l'éthique et avec la religion, notre conception intégrale de l'homme et de la nature."

Story
This is the third production of Kotonoha Publications called "Great Book Series that has passed on the Japanese feeling". You have not read it although you are a Japanese! Unbelievable! It is an excellent work. This remark was made by Hector Sierra, who presided the NGO "Artists without Boundaries" who were reciting the English version. When the whole Asia including Japan was looked down upon from the West in the early part of the last century, in order to make the West realize the enthusiasm and magnificence of the East, Kakuzo (Tenshin) Okakura wrote this book in Boston. The original...

Story
La cerimonia del tè è una delle tradizioni giapponesi che più affascinano l'Occidente. In questa piccola opera deliziosa, scritta originariamente in inglese per un pubblico occidentale, l'autore disvela il rito e il mito, la forma e la sostanza: dalle ricette più antiche all'accoglienza degli ospiti, dall'arredamento della stanza agli aspetti più mistici, rivolgendo uno sguardo d'insieme alla filosofia, alla storia, alla cultura orientale e a com’è stata recepita in Occidente.
