{"product_id":"shoko-ken-robin-noel-walker-9781138981850","title":"Shoko-Ken: A Late Medieval Daime Sukiya Style Japanese Tea-House","description":"First published in 2003. Built in 1628 at the Koto-in temple in the precincts of Daitoku-ji monastery in Kyoto, the Shoko-ken is a late medieval daime sukiya Japanese tea-house. It is attributed to Hosokawa Tadaoki, also known as Hosokawa Sansai, an aristocrat and daimyo military leader, and a disciple and friend of Sen no Riky?. This work is an extremely thorough look at one of the few remaining tea-houses of the Momoyama era tea-masters who studied with Sen no Rikyu. The English language sources on Hosokawa Sansai and his tea-houses have been exhaustively researched. Many facts and minute observations have been brought together to give even the reader unfamiliar with Tea a sense of the presence which the tea-house still manifests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Noel Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138981850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138981850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Robin Noel Walker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444077179135,"sku":"9781138981850","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f2fcb7-80ce-43cf-b821-e1785ca946ba.jpg?v=1777209840","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shoko-ken-robin-noel-walker-9781138981850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
