This is an audiobook of The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo, narrated by Mike Rosenlof. The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzō was written in English for a Western audience. Okakura meditates on the importance of chadō, or teaism (also known as the Way of Tea) and its role in Japanese life. Chadō is one third of the three classical arts of Japanese refinement: kadō, or the art of flower arrangement, and kōdō, or the Way of Fragrance, are the other two. In The Book of Tea, Okakura links the importance of teaism to the Japanese way of life. He contends that teaism has ingratiated itself into Japanese life – from its importance in historical events, to the impact of the philosophy that underlines its effect on Japanese art & architecture.
