Book Synopsis
The overwhelming majority of tea practitioners in contemporary Japan are women, but there has been little discussion on their historical role in tea culture (chanoyu). Rebecca Corbett writes women back into this history and shows how tea practice for women was understood, articulated, and promoted in the Edo and Meiji periods.
