Review: The Book of Tea: Japanese Tea Ceremonies and Culture

The Book of Tea: Japanese Tea Ceremonies and Culture by Okakura Kakuzō
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A small essay with beautiful drawings in style to tell not only the history of tea, but its evolution, the schools that have represented it, the connections with Zen and other arts, such as those that have to do with flowers. Very nice and interesting, but certainly not for everyone.

Un piccolo saggio con dei bei disegni in stile per raccontare non solo la storia del te, ma la sua evoluzione, le scuole che lo hanno rappresentato, i collegamenti con lo zen e con altre arti, come per esempio quelle che hanno a che fare con i fiori. Molto bello ed interessante, ma certo non per tutti.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
