入門―割稽古・客の心得 by 千 宗室
I'm very excited by this edition of the first "green book." It is very well done with lots of clear text and beautiful, full-color photos. Everything is photographed--sometimes from multiple angles. There are 12 pictures alone showing to fold a chakin--I may actually learn to do right thanks to this.
There will be 25 volumes in the finished series. The next two volumes are scheduled to appear in later November of 2010.

This is the "official" English-language handbook for beginning students published by the Urasenke Foundation, Kyoto, Japan. It contains the foundational procedures upon which all varitions of Urasenke-style chanoyu (tea ceremony) are based. As far as I am aware, this is a two-book set which contains detailed information and move-by-move photos of every temae required for a nyumon-level (beginner's license) certificate with the exception of sumi-demae (charcoal fire). This volume contains the show more basic warigeiko procedures, etiquette for guests and the first temae a student will learn, bonryaku-demae.
Although a book can never replace a good sensei (teacher) for me it has been an invaluable resource for those times when I'm practicing at home and just can't remember a particular sequence. Serious students will find the cost of this set well worth the price. show less

Many pictures (in color) of very nice chabako and chabako ustensils.
A step by step description (pictures and texts all in japanese) of six different variations of chabako tea ceremony.
