Okakura Kakuzō

    December 14, 1863 – September 2, 1913

    Okakura Kakuzō was an influential Japanese scholar and aesthetician who significantly contributed to the development of Japanese arts. Outside his home country, he is primarily remembered as the author of 'The Book of Tea', a work that delves into Japanese culture and philosophy through the lens of the tea ceremony. Okakura aimed to introduce and advocate for Asian art and culture in the West, seeking to foster greater understanding and balance between East and West. His writings, predominantly in English, left a notable impact on Western thinkers and artists interested in Asian spirituality and aesthetics.
