Zen and the art of tea-the classic book about the Japanese tea ceremony that is as much a guide to life.
Ritualized, romantic, and historically rich, the tea ceremony is the creation of something beautiful out of the everyday. Originally written in English more than a hundred years ago to be read aloud at Isabella Stewart Gardner's famous salon, The Book of Tea presents the meeting of East and West in a teacup. It explores Asian culture through the history and aestheticism-or "teaism"-of the tea ceremony and also suggests a deep connection between beauty and war, and between flowers and social mores. In its formality, attention to detail, and celebration of beauty and harmony, the tea ceremony encapsulates the Japanese view of life-in fact, the art of life.
冈仓天心(Kakuzo Okakura)
原名冈仓觉三,1863年生于日本横滨一个商人之家。七岁起同时接受汉学与英语教育,十六岁进入东京帝国大学就读,受到其师Fenollosa启发而对保存与发扬日本传统艺术及美学不遗余力。曾任日本美术学校的筹建者、校长,创立日本美术院,去职后游历于印度与中国,最后任职于波士顿美术馆东方美术部门,其著作《茶之书》、《东洋的理想》与《日本的觉醒》即写于这段时间。天心自幼学习外语,因其典雅动人之英文写作,三种著作皆于美国和英国出版,影响20世纪之初西方人对日本的印象可谓非常深远。
原文硬伤很多,大概因为作者风格太过浪漫而天马行空,在考据方面反而做得不够严谨,也有客观条件的限制,据说当初冈仓天心身在美国,是因为加德纳夫人的请求而写了这本书,身边仅有的资料是一本《茶经》。相比之下翻译非常强大,而且能看出相当的工夫和诚意,对我而言译注比正...
评分今天我们之于日本的认知,几乎走入一种奇特的境地。一方面是两国之间复杂的民族情感纠葛难以撇清,反而阻碍我们深入接触的可能;另一方面,作为亚洲文化传统的策源地,我们也从来没有觉得有必要去认真审视蕞尔小国的文化。其结果,原是一衣带水的邻邦,秉承同一文化血脉的东方...
评分日本作家向西方介绍东方茶道的书,没有写茶道讲究的东西,也没有讲茶叶的挑选,喝茶的程序。讲了日本茶室的建筑风格。 看的很省略。 不是吧,以前豆瓣评论短不是自动变为短评吗?现在都直接不能发布了。没什么好说的了 不是吧,以前豆瓣评论短不是自动变为短评吗?现在都直接不...
评分这本书不管是从信、达、雅哪个方面都很好,可以说是迄今为止笔者见过的最好的中文译本之一。 北京社这一套大师小讲系列,遣词用句都是明白晓畅,不用生僻词,符合现代人阅读习惯,有普及经典的意思。所以这本书既做到了通俗易懂,翻译精准,文采方面也是可圈可点。 北...

I keep thinking about Jim Morrison's sardonic line — 'the West is the best' somehow.
评分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.
评分Translation is the otherside of the stitchwork, it got all the threads but never looks the same. Somehow reading is still delightful. In the begining, Kakuzo Okakura points out how western world arrogantly look upon eastern culture and how we discard our own culture to adapt another so called civilisation. This is the reason of why we see this book
