Okakura's aesthetic idealism, based on Zen and Taoist philosophy, was particularly attractive to the Boston Brahmins.

Okakura Kakuzo and the Production of the Japan Discourse in the Early Twentieth-Century United States
Christiana Reinhold
Introduction
Okakura Kakuzo's (1862-1913) works, published in the first decade of the twentieth century both in the United States and Great Britain, sought to address the dearth in dependable information about Japan. Okakura is indeed one of the more reliable transmitters of Japanese culture of the time. A renowned and internationally acclaimed collector and historian of the arts of East Asia, Okakura's works, especially The Book of Tea (1905), are still today consulted in regard to matters of Japanese aestheticism. To read Okakura only for his insight into Japanese art, however, is to miss out on an entirely different dimension to Okakura that earned him the designation of being "Japan's first pan-Asian ideologue." Okakura's literary output as well as those products by "Japan experts" that are discussed below, are part of a deluge of books on Japan that were published during and immediately in the wake of the Russo-Japanese War (1904/5). A contemporary reviewer of The Literary Digest (New York) attributed the sudden demand for information about the "Orient," and specifically about Japan, to the long-time interest in and amazement over Japan's rapid modernization.

    The Cup of Humanity Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticismTeaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life. The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste. The long isolation of Japan from the rest of the world, so conducive to introspection, has been highly favourable to the development of Teaism. Our home and habits, costume and cuisine, porcelain, lacquer, paintingour very literatureall have been subject to its influence. No student of Japanese culture could ever ignore its presence. It has permeated the elegance of noble boudoirs, and entered the abode of the humble. Our peasants have learned to arrange flowers, our meanest labourer to offer his salutation to the rocks and waters. In our common parlance we speak of the man "with no tea" in him, when he is insusceptible to the serio-comic interests of the personal drama. Again we stigmatise the untamed aesthete who, regardless of the mundane tragedy, runs riot in the springtide of emancipated emotions, as one "with too much tea" in him.

    Tuttle Publishing 12/00 Hardcover $26.95
    ISBN 0-8048-3219-6 Here is a new edition of this classic written in 1906 by Okakura Kakuzo (1862-1913) who was born in Japan but served as Curator of the Department of Chinese and Japanese art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Originally written to be read aloud by the author at Isabella Stewart Gardner's famous salon, The Book of Tea presents an elegant glimpse into the culture that engendered the Eastern aesthetic. The text is enhanced with photos by Daniel Proctor and an introduction by Liza Dalby, author of Geisha. Whether commenting on the bubbles while water boils, the intricate simplicity of the tearoom, or the beauty of flowers, the author revels in the small details that contribute to the blending of art and life. One of the most memorable lines in the book is, "The art of life lies in the constant readjustment to our surroundings." Yes, and that remains one of the major challenges of our times.

    That a nation should construct one of its most resonant national ceremonies round a cup of tea will surely strike a chord of sympathy with at least some readers of this review. To many foreigners, nothing is so quintessentially Japanese as the tea ceremonymore properly, "the way of tea"with its austerity, its extravagantly minimalist stylization, and its concentration of extreme subtleties of meaning into the simplest of actions. The Book of Tea is something of a curiosity: written in English by a Japanese scholar (and issued here in bilingual form), it was first published in 1906, in the wake of the naval victory over Russia with which Japan asserted its rapidly acquired status as a world-class military power. It was a peak moment of Westernization within Japan. Clearly, behind the publication was an agenda, or at least a mission to explain. Around its account of the ceremony, The Book of Tea folds an explication of the philosophy, first Taoist, later Zen Buddhist, that informs its oblique celebration of simplicity and directnesswhat Okakura calls, in a telling phrase, "moral geometry." And the ceremony itself? Its greatest practitioners have always been philosophers, but also artists, connoisseurs, collectors, gardeners, calligraphers, gourmets, flower arrangers. The greatest of them, Sen Rikyu, left a teasingly, maddeningly simple set of rules:
