    The Book of Tea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 122min
    The Book of Tea is much more than a book about tea. It's a celebration of the arts and culture of Japan, and a portrait of tea ceremony, the "Way of Tea", as the pinnacle of Japanese spirituality and artistic life. Written in 1906 by Kakuzo Okakura, curator of Chinese and Japanese Art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and a noted scholar and art critic, this modern classic traces the history of tea from its early medicinal uses in China, through the development of Chinese tea culture, and finally to the role of tea in Japanese Zen, culture, and politics. In the process, Okakura weaves together the philosophies, myths, history, and poetry of China and Japan. He introduces us to tea masters, emperors, and warlords, and brings us an appreciation of the transient beauty of life that is at the heart of Japanese artistic ideals. Okakura wrote The Book of Tea in English, and his elegant prose mirrors the refined artistry of the Japanese tea ceremony. Narrated by Ken Cohen, himself a student and practitioner of tea ceremony in the Urasenke tradition, this audiobook captures Okakura's vision of how "Teaism" can transform us and the way we see ourselves and our world. ungekürzt.

    The Book of Tea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
    This special edition of The Book of Tea contains one hour of traditional Japanese flute (shakuhachi) and 43 minutes of music by traditional Japanese ensemble. The music appears track by track at the end of the two-hour audiobook and is included as wonderful compliment to this gracious and elegant listening experience. The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo is a long essay linking the role of tea (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. Addressed to a western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture, and he was a long-time student of the visual arts. He ends the book with a chapter on Tea Masters, and spends some time talking about Sen no Rikyu and his contribution to the Japanese Tea Ceremony. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Munro.

    Das Buch vom Tee
    Kakuzo Okakuras legendäres Buch vom Tee erschien erstmals 1906 und ist ein Klassiker, wenn von der japanischen Teekultur die Rede ist. Die Teezeremonie - das ist nicht nur die Zubereitung, das Teegerät, der Raum, sondern es geht dabei immer auch um die Verfeinerung der Sinne, die Vollendung der Form, den Rhythmus der Bewegungen, die die Zeremonie zum Kunstwerk werden lassen. »Teeismus« nennt Okakura die Philosophie des Tees und beschreibt anschaulich, wie in Japan schon im 8. Jahrhundert der Tee zum Kult wurde und wie er von dort aus seinen Siegeszug um die Welt antrat.Okakuras berühmteste Schrift wird jetzt mit den hinreißenden Illustrationen von Alexandra Klobouk und Eva Gonçalves in der Insel-Bücherei neu aufgelegt.

    The Book of Tea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min
    The Book of Tea (1906) by Okakura Kakuzō is a long essay which examines the role of chadō (Teaism) in the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. The author explains Teaism as “a philosophy founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence”. Originally written in English for a western audience, the essay deals with the spiritual traditions of Zen and Taoism, as well as the secular side of tea in Japanese life. The author shows how tea as a metaphor inspired the elegant simplicity which characterizes - inter alia - the art and architecture of Japan. According to the philosopher Tomonobu Imamichi, Martin Heidegger's concept of “Dasein” was inspired by Kakuzō’s expression “being-in-the-worldness” for the philosophy of Zhuangzi who composed a foundational text of the Tao. Kakuzó concludes that Teaism in itself serves as a universal remedy for promoting peace and tranquillity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Blaise Adams.
