“The Book of Tea”

「The Book of Tea: 茶の本」は、1906年に岡倉覚三（岡倉天心）によって英文で記された日本文化を紹介するものです．茶道を禅宗、道教、華道との関係から解説し、日本人の美意識や文化について広く述べられた書物です．明治期における日本人が記した英文として意義深いものです．

　亀吾郎法律事務所は、彼の文体を理解するため、なんとなく翻訳をおこなって見ました．現在も連載中ですが、どうぞご覧になってくださいね．

The book of tea was written in 1906 by Okakura Kakuzo (Tenshin) for his purpose of introducing Japanese culture, his work was written down in English. He aimed to explain the teaism in relate to the Zennism and Taoism, flower arrangement, and he widely depicts the aesthetic mind and culture of Japanese people. It is significant that his work, written in English by Japanese essayist, was completed in the Meiji era.

Kamegoro Law Firm, a legal irreverent blog, translated his writing in order to understand his style of writing. The translation is on our way to its completion, but please have a look and send us “like”, if you enjoyed.

Thank you.
