Even without a tearoom, with a single tea box any place can become "my tearoom". So I want to put together "a tea box of my own" and casually enjoy tea. But how do you put one together? What criteria for collecting utensils? ... Written by an author with 20 years of "tea box play", this is the first book in Japan to answer the questions of those who want to try assembling a tea box.
Explanations of the basic utensils that go in a tea box, variations on how to assemble one for different occasions, the author's own history of tea boxes, which also offers hints for assembling one, and more, are described thoroughly and carefully. Packed with easy-to-understand visuals.
