What is The Japanese Tea Ceremony – An Introduction about?

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to __chado__, the Japanese tea ceremony. Unlike other books on the subject, which focus on practice or historical background or specific issues, this book considers the subject from multiple perspectives. It discusses Japanese aesthetics and philosophy, outlines how the tea ceremony has developed, emphasizing its strong links to Zen Buddhism and the impact of other religion influences, and examines how __chado__ reflects traditional gender and social status roles in Japan. It goes on to set out fully the practice of __chado__, exploring dress, utensils, location – the garden and the tea house – and the tea itself and accompanying sweets. Throughout, the book is illustrated both with images and with examples of practice. The book will be of interest to a wide range of people interested in __chado__ – university professors and students, tourists and people interested in traditional Japanese arts.
