Description

Explore the transformative journey of Japanese tea culture from its ritualistic origins in the sixteenth century through its twentieth-century global expansion. This comprehensive volume examines how tea practice has profoundly shaped artistic production, connoisseurship, etiquette, food, design, and contemporary concepts of Japanese identity. The authors challenge prevailing myths about tea's development, refute the assumption that aesthetics overshadow political influence in tea culture, and reveal how historical documentation has remained central to tea traditions throughout the centuries. Ideal for scholars, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this influential cultural practice and its lasting impact on Japanese art and society.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering academic depth on Japanese tea culture spanning from sixteenth-century origins to twentieth-century international expansion.

Challenges conventional narratives by dispelling myths surrounding tea practice development and examining political dimensions often overlooked in traditional accounts.

Explores tea culture's extensive influence on artistic production, connoisseurship, etiquette, food, design, and evolving concepts of Japaneseness.

Demonstrates that historical writing and documentation have been integral components of tea culture practices rather than external additions.

Comprehensive history book suitable for academic study, cultural research, and readers interested in East Asian traditions and their global significance.
