I knew nothing about this book when I picked it up. It's only somewhat about tea. It's more about Japanese culture shared in broad, sweeping strokes. It's hard to unpack if you don't have a strong base understanding of Japanese history (which I don't).

Worse is the amount of typos in this edition. I suspect many of them to come from OCR. They were not only distracting but sometimes lefte wondering what the author had originally written.

Skip this one.
