Description
If learning to prepare tea takes a lifetime, what is truly learned in the process? That is the question that surrounds El viento entre los pinos, Japanese-style: without offering an answer, through anecdotes, poems, and reflections that bring the tea ceremony—one of the most exquisite disciplines of Japanese culture—closer to everyday life. Tasks such as purifying the utensils, arranging flowers, preparing the charcoal, and heating the water appear, in the author's words, as a genuine meditation in motion, inviting us to pause in the present and appreciate our surroundings with all our senses.

"Part travel to the land of origin, part chronicle of a learning experience, this book, as subtle as it is precise, as delicate as it is crystal clear, opens the doors to the intimacy of an ancient ceremony and guides our gaze so that we may appreciate every small detail, the meanings of each gesture, each color, each scent. A book full of wisdom and beauty." Federico Falco
