WOWSERS! This is one really awesome reference to the often overlooked field of the tea ceremony and its accessories. A most welcome addition to your own personal computer interactive relational database of these kewl items, which will certainly fill in some of the gaps in both actual textual descriptions and numerous colour pictures!

When Evelio and I had our antique shop open there were several tea related Asian items on display -- most were sold to the New York area dealers who were repeat customers. A must have reference for Asian antique collectors / dealers / appraisers / artists / ceramists - designers as an inspiration / and for researchers / students of this subject / the best known makers / designs -- a fine addition to your personal antiques reference library -- or as a gift for a friend.
