In response to that, Okakura Kakuzo set out to explain the beauty and simplicity of Japanese daily life which was greatly inspired by teaism. He describes in detail the different aspects of the tea ceremony, how it was founded, the role of the tea masters, the architecture of the tea-room and the stages of making and serving the tea. He then goes on to explain the connection between Taoism and Zennism with tea and he also writes chapters on art appreciation and the art of flower arranging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kakuzo Okakura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529021065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529021066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Collector's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 3.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Kakuzo Okakura","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050838192383,"sku":"9781529021066","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fe28d00-acb7-4c87-894c-aaa2bddfe157.jpg?v=1685009538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-tea-kakuzo-okakura-9781529021066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
