The Tea Ceremony : Explore the Ancient Art of Tea Hardback
by Kakuzo Okakura
Hardback
Description
With its emphasis on ritual and aesthetics, the ceremonial presentation of tea provides a fascinating introduction to many aspects of Japanese culture.
In the popular classic "The Book of Tea, " Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo seeks to explain "the way of tea" to westerners, in the hope that they will understand this insightful ritual as far more than the offering of a mere brewed beverage.
His profound, poetic work explores the history of tea as well as the subtler Zen spirituality behind the centuries-old ceremony.
This beautifully designed kit contains Kakuzo's "Book of Tea" plus utensils to use in recreating the tea ceremony at home: a traditional bowl and split bamboo whisk.
It's a wonderful way to get in touch with life's pure and simple pleasures and to learn to savor a bowl of tea in the most eloquent way.
