About this title

Synopsis

An affordable version of the classic 1906 essay on tea drinking and aesthetics.

This brief but classic essay on tea drinking, its history, restorative powers, and rich connection to Asia places "teaism" at the very center of Japanese life, shaping everything from art to architecture. A key reference for Japanese arts and ways.

About the Author

Kakuzo Okakura (1863-1913) was an administrator and scholar who had a profound effect on art and aesthetics both in Japan and the West. He helped found an arts college and in 1904 became an assistant curator at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Through his writings, Okakura was able to permanently affect the way the West viewed Japan and Asia.
