Sobre este item
This is a near-perfect copy of The Book of Tea: A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture and the Simple Life, written in 1906 by the Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo (1863-1913). It is the earliest English-language account of Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts. Okakura's view was that "tea is more than an idealization of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life."
It was written in English and is a long essay, broken into chapters. This printing is a replica of the original, in that the heading of each chapter has an illustration with an ink drawing by the Japanese painter Sesshu (1420-1506) and the portrait of Okakura by Kanzan Shimomura (1873-1930).
133 pages on fine paper. 5" x 7 3/4". In slipcase. Includes the original publisher's wrapper.
The slipcase is a little worn. The front endpapers have indentations to the paper. But this book has not been read and is otherwise in perfect condition.
Sinopse
Zen and the art of tea-the classic book about the Japanese tea ceremony that is as much a guide to life. Ritualized, romantic, and historically rich, the tea ceremony is the creation of something beautiful out of the everyday. Originally written in English more than a hundred years ago to be read aloud at Isabella Stewart Gardner's famous salon, The Book of Tea presents the meeting of East and West in a teacup. It explores Asian culture through the history and aestheticism-or "teaism"-of the tea ceremony and also suggests a deep connection between beauty and war, and between flowers and social mores. In its formality, attention to detail, and celebration of beauty and harmony, the tea ceremony encapsulates the Japanese view of life-in fact, the art of life.
