The Book of Tea

Okakura Kakuzō

First published 1906

Okakura Kakuzō traces the history and spirit of tea from its origins in Asia to the quiet rituals of the tearoom. Part cultural history, part aesthetic meditation, the book considers simplicity, impermanence, art, hospitality, and the discipline of finding beauty in ordinary acts.
