Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Spring marks a transitional time between the greyness of winter and the brightness of summer. And in this way, this Chanoyu for Spring/Chanoyu para la primavera explores the complexity of our emotions. As Lawrence Durrell writes in Clea, the fourth and final volume of The Alexandria Quartet: "How is one to make clear a single truth about the human heart?". The question itself exposes the paradox: it is not that we are duplicitous, but that we are multiple. Our inner lives, like Spring itself, are transitional, layered, and irreducible to a single tone.Chanoyu for Spring/Chanoyu para la primavera is the second volume of the quartet Chanoyu for the Seasons /Chanoyu para las estaciones. The phrase cha-no-yu () means "hot water for tea" and refers beyond its literal meaning to the Japanese tea ceremony. This refined practice was influenced by Zen Buddhism, in which the preparation, serving, and consumption of matcha tea are carried out with a deep sense of aesthetics, harmony, and contemplation. In the first paragraph of The Book of Tea (1906), Kakuzo Okakura writes: Tea began as medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble into a religion of aestheticism.Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence.It is essentially a worship of the imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something in this impossible thing we call life.This brief and concise description of the tea ceremony could easily be applied to the composition of the short Japanese poems known as waka, with the most illustrious of these being the tanka, which was composed and incorporated in the works of writers such as Otomo Yakamochi, Saigyo (Mountain Hermit's Collection), Sei Shonagon (The Pillow Book), Murasaki Shikibu (The Tale of Genji), and in the 20th century by Ishikawa Takuboku and Yosano Akiko. Yet, the most popular of the wakas in our time is the haiku, which continues to be practiced-often very poorly-all over the world, like tea haphazardly served in a plastic cup. In this book, however, the reader will come across not only tanka and haiku, but also the extended tanka or bussokusekika and the choka or long poems (also composed of 5 and 7 syllabic combinations). Chanoyu for Spring/Chanoyu para la primavera is the second volume of the quartet Chanoyu for the Seasons /Chanoyu para las estaciones. This item is printed on demand.
