The E book of Tea is much more than a reserve about tea. From the celebration of the arts and culture of Japan, and a portrait of tea service, the "Method of Tea", as the pinnacle of Japanese spirituality and artistic life. Written in 1906 by Kakuzo Okakura, curator of Chinese and Japanese Art work at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and a noted scholar and skill critic, this modern common traces the annals of tea from its early on therapeutic uses in China, through the development of Chinese tea culture, and finally to the role of tea in Japanese Zen, culture, and politics. Along the way, Okakura weaves together the philosophies, myths, background, and poetry of China and Japan. He introduces us to tea masters, emperors, and warlords, and brings us an understanding of the transient beauty of life that is at the center of Japanese artistic ideals. Okakura had written The E book of Tea in English, and his tasteful prose mirrors the sophisticated artistry of the Japanese tea service. Narrated by Ken Cohen, himself a student and specialist of tea service in the Urasenke traditions, this audiobook catches Okakura's vision of how "Teaism" can change us and just how we see ourselves and our world.
