Just a few things If you find yourself moving 13 times across 4 cities in 3 states over a period of less than 3 years, you ll notice that your bedroom looks and like a Japanese tea room each time Monzaemon Chikamatsu is referred to in this text as the Japanese Shakespeare Will I be seeking this man s work out as soon as possible Damn right Pfftn t threaten me with a good time We have an old saying in Japan that a woman cannot love a man who is truly vain, for there is no crevice in his heart f [...]
In the trembling grey of a spring dawn, when the birds were whispering in mysterious cadence among the trees, have you not felt that they were talking to their mates about the flowers Wow True beauty could be discovered only by one who mentally complete the incomplete Just wow Rikiu loved to quote an old poem which says To those who long only for flowers, fain would I show the full blown spring which abides in the toiling buds of snow covered hills More wow The tea master, Kobori Enshiu, himself [...]
This book was just wonderful It discusses the history of teaism in Asia mainly Japan but also China It s written in a very poetic and philosophical manner Not only does the book talk about tea, it also talks about how tea has influenced Japanese culture, especially Japanese cuisine, clothing, literature and art I learned some quite surprising facts For example, onions were added to tea in some places, and tea drinking was considered to be an occupation of depraved people The book also goes into [...]
Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.4.5 5The last time I felt what this book conjured up in me, I was in Medieval Art, transcribing the parts of cathedrals in relation to aspects of religion, art, and space Approaching the choir on high through the humbling nave, raising the eyes up [...]
That ending Wow.
This was a very good book on the history of tea and it s importance in the eastern cultures Tea started out as a medicine and grew itself into a beverage The book also speaks of the religion of Japan of Teaism.I recommend this book to all.Enjoy and Be Blessed.Diamond
The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuz Too little tea, we learn, was a Japanese expression used in reference to a person too busy to stop and smell the roses Too much tea, then, refers to a person so busy smelling the roses he has little time for much else In my humble estimation, Mr Okakura had a little too much tea in him.The Book of Tea makes a number of interesting points I agree with its author that we Occidentals tend to downplay the Orient s contributions to such fields as philosophy, religion, [...]

Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence It inculcates 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 It s not a book about tea, in the sense that it s not about how to drink your tea, what sorts you can get and what fancy properties they have and sho [...]

In questa breve opera Okakura ci illustra l orientalit dell Oriente servendosi del t come simbolo In origine medicina e solo successivamente bevanda, il t arriv ad influenzare anche la ceramica cinese Lu Wu, poeta che formul il Codice del T , ritenne che il colore ideale per la tazza da t fosse il blu, poich esaltava il verde della bevanda , e Okakura ci narra delle sue origini, della sua storia antica e della sua diffusione, per poi concentrare l attenzione sulla sua importanza come simbolo in [...]
First published in 1906, this classic work written in English having only seven short chapters is something rare and essential to those interested in Japanese culture It is rare because few Japanese writers have written in English, even Natsume Soseki who studied in England in 1901 1903 enpedia wiki Natsume_ wrote most of his stories and novels in Japanese Moreover, it is essential since reading this book would broaden our understanding on how and why tea in Japan has long been appreciatively ad [...]
Okakura Kakuzo writes that he is not a polite teaist This is true In the Book of Tea, he or less shames the world, in particular his own countrymen, for subscribing to Western aesthetics He also makes it clear how he feels about said aesthetics and the junk art coming out of the cluttered, cheap and materialistic culture of 19th century Europe and America That said, I didn t like this book because I m a self deprecating whitey.I liked this book first and foremost because it s pretty I might hav [...]
A really fascinating little collection of essays, dealing with Japanese culture at the turn of the twentieth century, especially the tea ceremony and the culture and philosophy that springs from it I found this really interesting and readable, although possibly enjoyable if you have vague background knowledge of Japanese and Chinese history and schools of philosophy.

This is an exquisite little cultural history of Japan centred around the tea ceremony and a philosophy of teaism which includes elements of Zen and Taoism.It s also a work of art and design philosophy which especially falls into place on realising it was written in the wake of the Western aesthetic movement of the late nineteenth century The Book of Tea was first published in 1906 The Japanese perspective described here seems to unite, or else trace a middle way between, the opposition of artifi [...]
What a beautiful book It s amazing to see what changes in this world, and also what stays the same 4 08I had a moment of epiphany yesterday, when I realized that I wanted to study the tea ceremony again while I m in Japan, and said something to my mom about wanting to find a teacher Then today by total coincidence one of my students hands me a page she wrote for me about Chado the tea ceremony and the end of is says I hope that this answer will encourage you to open the door to Chado leading you [...]
Well I suppose, some books will speak to you, and some won t but in this particular case the author s cringe worthy comments regarding the Occident s weltanschauung put me off from the very beginning There were some mildly interesting passages later on, but all in all, this book was not exactly my cup of tea Too much philosophical and or poetic digressions, too little information on tea itself Still searching for a readable book about tea.
Notas para el futuro Lo bueno y genial el poder de s ntesis, la erudici n cl sica, el sentido del humor, el pacifismo.Lo malo y extra o imposible de entender sin el contexto hist rico el nacionalismo, cierto esnobismo hacia el arte contempor neo del autor.Hay dos momentos fascinantes del texto, el primero es cuando describe la experiencia est tica es ser uno con el Tao Copio un fragmento largo Esta forma de entender la experiencia est tica en Occidente la entendemos as desde Kant en adelante, re [...]
Kakuzo Okakura s The Book of Tea is a sixty five page classic which is as much about Eastern patterns of thought as it is about the history and traditions of tea drinking We are introduced to Teaism chado , the philosophy of life and tea drinking that emerged in 15th century Japan as a hot drink focused variation on or aspect of Zen Buddhism, which itself came out of the mingling of Taoism with the teachings of Buddha in southern China A particular outlook on life is expressed through the peacef [...]
