In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com","brand":"Apps Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069352984816,"sku":"2940012454799","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012454799_p0.jpg?v=1763569245","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012454799","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
