The Book of Tea Okakura Kakuzo, translated by Gian Carlo Calza The Book of Tea (1906) by Okakura Kakuzo has long become a classic. Its title notwithstanding, the book is not a manual on tea. Rather it is an essay, better a hymn, to culture, aesthetics and the spirit of tea as a symbol, a paradigm, of the Asian soul. This new edition has an important apparatus of over 200 notes to explain the contents of the book and supply all the information needed to understand it fully — something that so far has never been done.
