Tea Ceremony - Softcover
The tea ceremony, introduced to Japan at the end of the Muromachi period, is an art which combines the etiquette of serving tea with the aesthetic contemplation of gardens, tea utensils, paintings and flower arrangements. Filled with elements of Zen philosophy, its ultimate aim is the attainment of deep spiritual satisfaction.
