"Beautiful little book, full of unusual history (why do Russians drink tea with lemon? why don't we drink tea with salt?), arresting stories (I'll remember the one about the Sesson painting for a while) and useful guidelines to the Japanese aesthetic (only one of anything in an arrangement--if you have a real flower, paintings of flowers are prohibited) from a significant figure in turn of the century American and Asian art history."
"I think because this book wasn't what I was expecting, I found it to be a little creepy. I thought I would be learning about types of tea and the history of it. While there was plenty of the history of tea in this book, Okakura's primary purpose was to explain "Teaism," with the religious connections it held to other Eastern philosophies. While interesting, it's not an exceptional book."
