THE BOOK OF TEA
Author Tenshin Okakura(Author）
Book Features & Author Introduction
The Book of Tea — The Classic English Text by Okakura Tenshin
A timeless work by Okakura Tenshin, a true international figure of the Meiji era, The Book of Tea explores Japanese and East Asian aesthetics with gentle wit and deep insight, presenting them to the Western world.
Born in Yokohama during the final years of the Tokugawa period and raised in a global environment, Okakura wrote this book directly in English in 1906 while in New York. Alongside Bushido, it became a key text for Western intellectuals seeking to understand the values of the East and the essence of Japanese culture.
More than a book about tea, this is a philosophical reflection on art, beauty, and simplicity—concepts at the heart of the Japanese way of life.
This edition features large, easy-to-read print and vocabulary notes for challenging words, making it accessible for Japanese readers as well as those interested in classical English texts.
