Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First time in Penguin Classics for this Japanese work dedicated to the art of drinking tea - and much more - introduced by Christopher BenfeyFor a generation adjusting painfully to the demands of a modern industrial and commercial society, Asia came to represent an alternative vision of the good life- aesthetically austere, socially aristocratic, and imbued with spirituality. The Book of Tea was originally written in English and sought to address the inchoate yearnings of disaffected Westerners. In a flash of inspiration, Okakura saw that the formal tea party as practiced in New England was a distant cousin of the Japanese tea ceremony, and that East and West had thus "met in the tea-cup." For a generation adjusting painfully to the demands of a modern industrial and commercial society, Asia came to represent an alternative vision of the good life: aesthetically austere, socially aristocratic, and imbued with spirituality. This book addresses the inchoate yearnings of disaffected Westerners. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
