As I was perusing for a book to take on a tea trip to Japan with me, I came across Mistress Oriku and picked it up without a second thought. I innocently expected it to be about a woman in Meiji-era Tokyo and her teahouse, but this took a racy turn. Although tea was barely a topic, I definitely enjoyed the empowering stories of Mistress Oriku and her lovers. Especially in a Japanese setting, I enjoyed her brash self-loving attitude on life and the world around her. I'd also love to try her chazuke, it never ceased to be described so deliciously!
