The Book of Tea was written by Okakura Kakuzo in the early 20th century. It was first published in 1906, and has since been republished many times. - In the book, Kakuzo introduces the term Teaism and how Tea has affected nearly every aspect of Japanese culture, thought, and life. The book is noted to be accessible to Western audiences because though Kakuzo was born and raised Japanese, he was trained from a young age to speak English; and would speak it all his life, becoming proficient at communicating his thoughts in the Western Mind. In his book he elucidates such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of Tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kakuzo Okakura

Nasceu em Yokohama em 1862 e foi um estudioso japonês que contribuiu imensamente para o desenvolvimento das artes e da cultura no Japão. Aos 15 anos ingressou na Universidade Imperial de Tóquio, onde conheceu o professor Ernest Fenollosa, formado em Harvard. Em 1889, Okakura cofundou o periódico Kokka, e um ano depois, foi um dos principais fundadores da primeira academia japonesa de belas-artes, a Escola de Belas Artes de Tóquio, da qual se tornaria diretor.
Fundou o Instituto de Arte do Japão, com Hashimoto Gaho e Yokoyama Taikan, e foi mais tarde convidado por William Sturgis Bigelow para o Museu de Belas Artes de Boston em 1904, tornando-se assim no primeiro chefe de divisão de arte asiática em 1910.
Okakura investigou a arte tradicional do Japão e viajou para a Europa, Estados Uni dos, China e Índia, enfatizando a importância da cultura asiática no mundo moderno, tentando trazer a sua influência para os domínios da arte e da literatura que, na sua época, eram amplamente dominados pela cultura ocidental. Fora do Japão, Okakura teve uma forte influência em várias figuras relevantes, tal como o filósofo Martin Heidegger, o poeta Ezra Pound e o prémio nobel da literatura Rabindranath Tagore.
