About this book
An exquisite meditation on the Japanese tea ceremony, The Little Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuz? explores how something as simple as tea can express the deepest values of Japanese culture.
What begins as an essay on the tea ceremony unfolds into a graceful philosophy of beauty, simplicity, and compassion. With each page, Kakuz? invites us to slow down, to see the sacred in the everyday, and to glimpse the spiritual harmony at the heart of Japanese culture. More than a century after its first publication in 1906, this timeless work continues to speak to those seeking peace, mindfulness, and meaning in a hurried world.
Kakuz?'s reflections on art, simplicity, and mindful living feel more relevant than ever. A must-read for lovers of culture, tea, and quiet wisdom.
