The Glocal Book:"The Book of Tea" by Okakura Kakuzou(Tenshin)-No.50

The Subtle Beauty of the Tea-Room



「To European architects brought up on the traditions of stone and brick construction, our Japanese method of building with wood and bamboo seems scarcely worthy to be ranked as architecture.

It is but quite recently that a competent student of Western architecture has recognised and paid tribute to the remarkable perfection of our great temples.

Such being the case as regards our classic architecture, we could hardly expect the outer to appreciate the subtle beauty of the tea-room, its principles of construction and decoration being entirely different from those of the West. 」
(From the Book of Tea-The Tea-Room, pp.53-54, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont-Tokyo, Japan)

Today, we will move to the Chapter ; The Tea-Room.
The architecture for Tea-Room is our traditional house builing.

I think the beaty of the Japanese house is based on the simplicity and unsymmetricity.
The Japanese house is basically made of wood and you will be able to enjoy the different kinds of touch, charm and beauty of the house with aging.
