During his travels to England and the United States in the early 20th century, Tenshin Okakura realized that Westerners were full of absurd ideas and misunderstandings about the Eastern world, so he wrote "The Ideal of the East", "The Awakening of Japan", and "The Book of Tea", which is known as Tenshin Okakura's "English Trilogy", one after the other. Of the three works, The Book of Tea has had the greatest impact, with translations into French, German, Spanish, Swedish, and other languages, and has been selected as an American high school textbook. The book has earned Tenshin Okakura a worldwide reputation, and at the same time, it has also composed a far-reaching piece of music with the theme of "tea ceremony" to the western world, "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
