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 \u003ci\u003echado \u003c\/i\u003ereflects traditional gender and social status roles in Japan. It goes on to set out fully the practice of \u003ci\u003echado\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003echado \u003c\/i\u003e- university professors and students, tourists and people interested in traditional Japanese arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaeko Chiba\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of International Liberal Arts at Akita International University, Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42156709281927,"sku":"9781032164670","price":89.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/7015f7b2ab125873d17b7ade13ffbf7d.webp?v=1733245719","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-japanese-tea-ceremony-an-introduction-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
