About this audiobook
You have not read it although you are a Japanese! Unbelievable! It is an excellent work. This remark was made by Hector Sierra, who presided the NGO "Artists without Boundaries" who were reciting the English version. When the whole Asia including Japan was looked down upon from the West in the early part of the last century, in order to make the West realize the enthusiasm and magnificence of the East, Kakuzo (Tenshin) Okakura wrote this book in Boston. The original draft is written in English. Some expressions which can be taken as provocative are used, and Taoism which is taking the root of the East and the heart of en are represented excellently in the "Tea Ceremony". The first publication was in 1906 (Meiji 39). Even now after one century has passed, it is ndergoing series of versions and is currently on sale. (Iwanami Book Store/ISBN 4003311515) We will send the present work that has attracted many foreigners and Japanese people in distinguished literature reading format. (C) Kotonoha Publications
Okakura Kakuzō
Okakura Kakuzō (1863-1913) was a Japanese scholar. Born in Tokyo, Okakura was the son of a silk merchant. At fifteen, having learned English at the school of Christian missionary Dr. Curtis Hepburn, he enrolled at Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied under esteemed art historian Ernest Fenollosa. In 1887, Okakura cofounded the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, but was ousted from his role several years later. He spent his career as one of Japan’s leading cultural ambassadors, travelling throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia in his capacity as a lecturer. In 1910, he became the first head of the Asian art division of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. His major literary works, most of which were written in English, include The Ideals of the East with Special Reference to the Art of Japan (1903), The Awakening of Japan (1904), and The Book of Tea (1906).
