| Publisher Description: The tea cermony--known as cha-no-yu, or literally hot water for tea--has touched nearly every aspect of Japanese life. First published in 1933 as Cha-No-Yu, or The Japanese Tea Ceremony, this classic remains the gold standard for books on the five-centuries-old tea ceremony, which is itself an epitome of Japanese civilization.
