5.0 out of 5 stars Tea Ceremony explains far more than Tea, 2 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tea Ceremony (Hardcover)
I've found that an understanding of the tea ceremony led to a better understanding of so many Japanese cultural treasures that I now recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about subjects ranging from gardening to ceramics. Interested in Raku pottery? Study the tea ceremony. Want to know more about Japanese gardens? Study the tea ceremony. A fan of Zen Buddhism? Learn the way of Tea. Want to know more about Japanese architecture? Learn about sukiya style by studying the tea ceremony. Are you interested in Japanese woodworking and joinery? Learn about Tea, you'll know more about what to hide, what to emphasize in your carpentry. This particular books is a very good starting point, don't be surprised if you read this and then become interested in 20 other subjects. You'll keep coming back to this one in order to understand all 20.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tea Master User's Manual, 31 Oct 2004
I bought this book almost two years ago, and I still refer to it from time to time, especially whenever I have a ceremony to hold.

If you are in for details and want to know all about Tea Ceremony, this book could be the most important comprehensive source of information for you.

The content is very well written, but falls under the technical/ documentary type of writing. At some points, you feel you are a Tea Apprentice, but if that is what you want, then it would be great.

The Photography is just perfect, some are artistic, but the majority are documentary-type photography.

Illustrations are numerous and very useful.

Design and Layout is very good in a way that respects the reader and goes with the aesthetics of the subject itself.

Finally, I highly recommend reading "The Book of Tea" by Kakuzo Okakura, which compliments "The Tea Ceremony" in a beautiful way. It has all what is missing from the latter; the poetic, philosophical and spiritual aspect of the Tea Ceremony itself. "The Book of Tea" is a short but a very deep yet simple book.

After reading both books, you just need to start practicing Chanoyu and then get any further education directly from Tea Masters, there won't be anything else left in books to read, just experience it in real life and indulge yourself in this very sublime spiritual world of serenity and inner peace.
