The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo is a long essay linking the role of tea (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. Addressed to a western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life.

Ridiculously inappropriate music and narration
Revisado: 05-16-22
The readers voice only reinforces the notion that this was a clumsy translation in that the narrator has that old white man voice laid over the most Orientalist music since the Mikado. The irony being the content of the book is total derision of this sort of western-culture centric worldview. This irony being a minor saving grace.
