(*)(Japan Publishing Industry Foundation for Culture) (★)(Reporter and essayist Noriko Morishita reflects on twenty-five years of studying the Japanese Way of Tea, from her first uncertain steps as a college student to her gradual discovery of freedom within the very rules that once seemed to hold her back. As Morishita experiences the trials and triumphs of adult life, from job-hunting setbacks to lost love, from the struggle to build a career to the pain of losing a loved one, Tea is always there to remind her that simply being present in the moment is enough. The joy of savoring the seasons with all five senses --of smelling the rain, of hearing each individual raindrop. The importance of cherishing each meeting as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Humor and heartbreak, despair and determination --in this memoir, Morishita vividly connects the Way of Tea to the full span of human experience, culminating in the exhilaration of realizing ´I´m alive, right now!´ ◆Noriko Morishita was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1956. She graduated from the Department of Japanese Literature at the Faculty of Humanities, Japan Women´s University. While still an undergraduate, she began working as a reporter, gathering stories for Shukan Asahi magazine´s popular column,´Dekigotology´. Since publishing her experiences as a writer in ´Nori-yakko Dosue(1987)´, she has enjoyed a flourishing career as an essayist and writer of reportage. A film adaptation of ´Nichi Nichi Kore Koojitsu´was released in 2018.) |
