In The Book of Tea, Okakura Kakuzo discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the
secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese
many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzo argues that tea-induced simplicity affected
the culture, art and architecture of Japan. Source: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/904538.The_Book_of_Tea
