A review by meraval
The Book of Tea by Elise Grilli, Kakuzō Okakura

informative relaxing medium-paced

4.25

A very interesting read about the history of tea, its significance relating to Taoism and Zennism and its importance in Japanese culture. Kakuzou Okakuro explains Teaism to the Western reader in a similar manner as you would today - if you think about it, not much has changed in the way Japanese customs may be viewed by people unfamiliar with the traditions.
