Abstract: "This small volume provides a great wealth of information about the history of each utensil, its aesthetic values, and its role in the ritual. The author describes each utensil as a work of art, but never loses sight of the practical function it serves in the tea ceremony. With the clear picture of the utensils he presents here, the Japanese tea ceremony need no longer remain the esoteric and inapproachable rite that it has seemed to some outsiders"--
