About this book,

The culture of tea has developed in Japan for almost 500 years. The Japanese 'Chado' school of tea ceremony, in which tea is served and guests are entertained through a series of ceremonial rituals using simple and refined furnishings and tea utensils, has remained prestigious in two main schools and is still taught by hundreds of thousands of Japanese people today. The Chashitsu okoshi-ezu is an architectural template created in the Edo period to enable the construction of such masterpieces of teahouse architecture to be better understood. By assembling the flat pieces of paper, you can reproduce these famous buildings on a small scale. The Okoshi-ezu in this book is based on a number of Okoshi-ezu from the Edo period and has been reprinted under the supervision of Horiguchi Sutemi, a researcher in tea house architecture.
