The Japanese tea ceremony blends art with nature and has for centuries brought harmony to the daily life of its practitioners. In the eighteen century, the warrior Shigenori Chikamatsu set down scores of legends and anecdotes and bits of lore and history to express the essence of the tea ceremony for the edificitation of tea connoissers. In this volume, Shigenori's class collection is translated into English for the first time.
Newcomers to the tea ceremony will find this an engaging, introduction to its spirit and traditions, while confirmed tea devotees will discover much that is new. All who are interested in Japanese life and culture will welcome this charming anecdotal tour of the world of tea. Over 50 lovely black-and-white illustrations complement the next.
