Author Kakuzo Okakura's fluency in English and expertise in the traditional arts rendered him uniquely qualified to help promote understanding between Japan and the West. The book offers a detailed account of the spiritual and philosophical significance of "the way of tea", tracing it's Taoist and Zen Buddhist roots, as well as a more material look at the effects of tea on Japanese life. Enlightening and entertaining, The Book of Tea is an unmissable classic.
