Covering tea-related events in Japan throughout the year, Master Sasaki provides vignettes of festivals and formal occasions, and as well as the traditional contemplative poetry that is a part of the tea ceremony.
Each chapter covers variations in the tea ceremony appropriate for a single month, including:
- Themes and sentiments-tea gatherings at night, under the moon, on snowy days, and many others.
- Special events-describing major tea festivals such as Hina-matsuri and yasurai-matsuri.
- Flowers with tea--a list of 250 flowers, divided by season with an explanation of how they are incorporated into the tea ceremony.
- Cakes-descriptions and ingredients of moist and dry cakes and toffees used in the tea ceremony.
- Meals for tea-the meal, kaiseki, accounts for almost a third of any formal tea ceremony. This section includes at least two proven menus for each month.
- Words-seasonal words, poetic names for utensils, and nature words used in the tea ceremony.
