Collects Liu Zongetsu's articles on tea ceremony, tea utensils, aesthetics, etc. In the book, Yanagi Zongetsu conducted a unique and profound discussion on the theme of what is beauty and what is the tea ceremony, and discussed beauty from multiple perspectives. Liu Zongyue believes that to deeply understand the heart and essence of beauty of tea, one must touch and observe it at close range, and observe the beauty through famous tea ceremony utensils. He believes that only by looking at tea ceremony and tea utensils with a free vision that is not bound by fixed ideas can tea enter a freer world. In the article, he also advocated the common principles of Japanese beauty, commented on tea drinkers of the past and present, and put forward pertinent and serious requirements for modern tea drinkers. A true tea person should encourage himself as a creator. As far as vision is concerned, boundless freedom is the most important thing. What most tea drinkers lack today is this kind of freedom, tea state, and a deep connection with the virtue of simplicity, but not with arrogance. The tea ceremony is also a lesson in poverty. --Liu Zongyue.
