Description:
A masterpiece written to convey Japanese aesthetics and the spiritual world of the East to the West through the everyday practice of tea. "The Book of Tea," penned by Okakura Tenshin—born in Yokohama during the late Edo period and raised as an internationalist under his father, a merchant—was published in New York in 1906, presenting Japanese and Eastern aesthetics to Western audiences with wit and eloquence. Still read worldwide today, this work by Tenshin, who became a central figure in the New Japanese Art Movement, reveals the unique worldview underlying Japanese people and culture, written over a century ago in fluent English. Together with "Bushido," which preceded it, the book became an essential key for Western intellectuals of that era to understand the values and perspectives of the East and Japan.
