It was first published in 1906, and has since beenrepublished many times. - In the book, Kakuzo introduces the termTeaism and how Tea has affected nearly every aspect of Japaneseculture, thought, and life. The book is noted to be accessibile toWestern audiences because though Kakuzo was born and raisedJapanese, he was trained from a young age to speak English; andwould speak it all his life, becoming proficient at communicatinghis thoughts in the Western Mind. In his book he elucidates suchtopics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of Tea andJapanese life. The book emphasises how Teaism taught the Japanesemany things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that thistea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was along-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with achapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen noRikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony.
