I am even more interested in the beautiful art of tea ceremonies now! --Traveling Book Nerds This classic text, first published in 1933, takes one on a journey through time, space and mindfulness. It gives deep insights into how the art of tea ceremony (Cha-no-yu in Japanese, 'hot water for tea'), is not merely about its practical aspects--tea rooms, utensils or gardens--but the arrangement of these various essential components within a space where simplicity is embraced and each movement is a conscious meditation of a calm mind, like a Zen practice. --Kyoto Journal
