Lo Zen e la cerimonia del tè

The book delves into the philosophical and aesthetic aspects of tea, but I'm curious how much of his personal experience shaped these insights.

The descriptions are so evocative that I almost felt transported to a quiet tea room. Does this effect vary for others depending on their familiarity with Japanese culture?

The way the book connects tea with broader cultural and philosophical themes feels very intentional. I wonder if this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
