Our favourite little golden book is back in store. ? "...the tea ceremony as it evolved became an eclectic social art form combining among other things, the skills of architecture, interior and garden design, flower arranging, painting, food preparation, and performance.
The accomplished tea practitioner was someone who could orchestrate all these elements - and the guests in attendance - into a quietly exciting artistic event that thematically cohered.
At its artistic zenith, realising the universe of wabi-sabi in its fullness was the underlying goal of tea." ❤️ Ahhh tea. It's never just about the tea.
