CHADO THE WAY OF TEA
by Sasaki Sanmi, Shaun Mccabe, Iwasaki Satoko

“Chado The Way of Tea: A Japanese Tea Master’s Almanac is a translation of the Japanese classic Sado-saijiki, first published in 1960. Covering tea-related events in Japan throughout the year, Sasaki provides vignettes of festivals and formal occasions, as well as the traditional contemplative poetry that is a part of the tea ceremony.

Author Sasaki Sanmi was born in 1893 in Kyoto. He founded Sadô Bunka-kai, a cultural association for tea. He was later appointed a companion of Tantansai, then Grand Tea Master of the Urasenke lineage. Shaun McCabe is one of few non-Japanese to be awarded a chamei, a master’s certificate in the tea ceremony. Satoko Iwasaki was awarded the Ichikawa Sanki prize for translation.”
