The Book of Tea Classic Edition by Kakuzō Okakura
4.0
Love how a book can pretend to be so narrow, focussed solely on tea, and yet expand into questions of Taoism, gardening, architecture and eastern/western relations.
I particularly liked learning how tea masters, inspired by Taoism and zen, operate on the premise that great art is created within the viewer, and requires active participation to be complete. Tea ceremonies, and art, are often not symmetrical, and not perfect, to reflect this. It is due to life not being perfect. Teaism is seeing beauty in life’s imperfections.
