The Japanese Tea Ceremony by A L Sadler

The Japanese Tea Ceremony is a detailed examination of the five-centuries-old tea ceremony or Cha-no-Yu (in Japanese, literally hot water for tea) a cornerstone of Japanese culture and a core practice of Zen Buddhism.

"This classic text, first published in 1933, takes one on a journey through time, space and mindfulnessIt 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
"I am even more interested in the beautiful art of tea ceremonies now!" --Traveling Book Nerds
