eBooks di Okakura Kakuzo editi da Digital Deen Publications

Okakura Kakuzo, discendente di una famiglia di samurai, frequentò la Tokyo Imperial University, uno dei centri propulsori del processo di occidentalizzazione del Giappone nel periodo Meiji. Fu lì che incontrò un professore di Harvard, grande studioso di cultura giapponese, Ernest Fenollosa, che poi accompagnò in una serie di viaggi alla scoperta dell’arte tradizionale del Paese. Nel 1889 assunse la direzione della Scuola Nazionale d’Arte di Tokyo. Viaggiò molto, in India, Cina e Stati Uniti, e nel 1911 divenne sovrintendente del Museum of Fine Arts di Boston. Autore di diversi libri in inglese e giapponese, è noto soprattutto per The Book of Tea.

The Book of Tea. E-book. Formato EPUB Kakuzo Okakura   -  Digital Deen Publications, 2017  - 

Kakuzo introduces the term Teaism and how Tea has affected nearly every aspect of Japanese culture, thought, and life. The book is accessibile to Western audiences because Kakuzo was taught at a young age to speak English; and spoke it all his life, becoming 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. The book emphasises how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony.
