An enlightening account of how the Japanese tea ceremony influences so much of Japanese life and culture.
Okakura Kakuzō fut un érudit et esthète japonais influent qui contribua de manière significative au développement des arts au Japon. En dehors de son pays, il est principalement connu comme l'auteur de 'Le Livre du thé', une œuvre qui explore la culture et la philosophie japonaises à travers le prisme de la cérémonie du thé. Okakura chercha à présenter et à promouvoir l'art et la culture asiatiques en Occident, dans le but de favoriser une meilleure compréhension et un équilibre entre l'Orient et l'Occident. Ses écrits, majoritairement en anglais, eurent un impact notable sur des penseurs et artistes occidentaux intéressés par la spiritualité et l'esthétique asiatiques.
