Este clásico ensayo de Kakuzō Okakura explora la profunda relación entre el té, el arte y la espiritualidad en la cultura japonesa. A través de la 'Filosofía del Té', el autor describe cómo esta práctica no es solo un acto estético, sino una forma de higiene moral y economía que revela la belleza en la sencillez y la armonía con la naturaleza. La obra representa el espíritu de la democracia oriental, elevando a sus practicantes a una aristocracia del gusto. Es una lectura esencial para comprender la estética zen y el concepto de 'téismo' como una religión del arte de vivir.
Okakura Kakuzō , also known as Okakura Tenshin (岡倉 天心), was a Japanese scholar and art critic who in the era of Meiji Restoration reform promoted a critical appreciation of traditional forms, customs and beliefs. Outside Japan, he is chiefly renowned for The Book of Tea: A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture, and the Simple Life (1906). Written in English, and in the wake of the Russo-Japanese War, it decried Western caricaturing of the Japanese, and of Asians more generally, and expressed the fear that Japan gained respect only to the extent that it adopted the barbarities of Western militarism.
