Status Updates From The Book of Tea / 茶の本

“Those who cannot feel the littleness of great things in themselves are apt to overlook the greatness of little things in others.” This book was translated from Japanese and there are lots of spelling/grammar errors that make it a little complicated to read, but I’m enjoying this nonetheless. Purchased for me by Evann 🫶🏼

“Translation is always a treason, and as a Ming author observes, can at its best be only the reverse side of a brocade,—all the threads are there, but not the subtlety of colour or design.”
