The Glocal Book:"The Book of Tea" by Okakura Kakuzou(Tenshin)-No.22

Luwuh,"Chaking" Shock !

Kayokukan by Katashi Oyama

「The remaining chapters of the "Chaking" treat of the vulgarity of the ordinary methods of tea-drinking, a historical summary of illustrious tea-drinkers, the famous tea plantations of China, the possible variations of the tea-service, and illustrations of the tea-utensils.
The last is unfortunately lost.
The appearance of the "Chaking" must have created considerable sensation at the time.
Luwuh was befriended by the Emperor Taisung (763-779), and his fame attracted many followers.
Some exquisites were said to have been able to detect the tea made by Luwuh from that of his diciples.
One mandarin has his name immortalised by his failure to apprecate the tea of this great master.]
(From The Book of Tea-The Scool of Tea, p.27, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont-Tokyo, Japan)
Luwuh was /is the Saint of Tea and the Book of "Chaking" authorized him.
As the results, the blind power was /is produced as the Authority and many unfortunate worldly thought enfforced the trajedies and the comedies.
The same kinds of phenomenons are still currentry happening in almost any fields.
