The Book of Tea is a long essay written by Okakura Kakuzō in 1906, which links
the role of chadō (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese
life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things, the most
important of which were simplicity and humility. Okakura believed that this
aesthetic should inform everything from the arts and architecture to daily
life and was already informing them in Japan. The book also discusses topics
such as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life.
According to Tomonobu Imamichi, Heidegger's concept of Dasein in Sein und Zeit
was inspired by Okakura Kakuzō's concept of das-in-der-Welt-sein (being-in-
the-worldness) expressed in The Book of Tea to describe Zhuangzi's philosophy.
The Book of Tea has been cited as an important influence on the work of Frank
Lloyd Wright, Arthur Wesley Dow, and Georgia O'Keeffe.
