The Book of Tea
Amidst the chaos of daily life, am I appreciating the quiet, rustic beauty found in imperfection?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first met this slim book, written in English for Western readers, I half doubted the claim that a whole universe could be held within a teacup. Yet the author elegantly proves that drinking tea is no mere quenching of thirst, but a rite of revering beauty within an imperfect and fleeting life. The time spent reading it is itself a meditation, like savoring a single cup of tea. If you long to recover the margins of a heart left dry by the rush of daily life, I commend this book to you.
"Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence."Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea
"차의 철학은 불완전함에 대한 숭배다. 그것은 불가능한 삶 속에서 무언가 가능한 것을 성취하려는 부드러운 시도다."
