E-book Japanese Tea Culture : The Heart and Form of Chanoyu
Let me make a brief comment about pastimes here. Some may frown on pastimes as being play without purpose. However, this is absolutely not the case. I hardly need to cite Homo Ludens (The Person Who Plays), that 1938 book about the importance of play in culture by the famous European historian Johan Huizinga (1872–1945), to make the case that a culture that loses the element of play is a culture that is spent. People play. And indeed, the spirit of play is at the basis of all that enriches human culture. Pastimes are, in a sense, the straightest expression of that spirit of play.
