Adult coloring books have surely been one of the hottest trends lately. Not only can you create beautiful masterpieces that are perfect for framing and hanging, but they're really relaxing, too. If you have a lot of stress in your day-to-day life then you must dive into the adult coloring book craze; you'll easily see how calming it is and the only decisions you'll have to make is what colors you want to use. We also know how calming and relaxing drinking tea can be too, so why not combine the two? Meditations on Tea is a new adult coloring book from Tuttle that is based on the reflections from Okakura Kakuzo's The Book of Tea.
If you're a fan of culture and literature then you'll truly enjoy this artful Japanese coloring book. There are over 90 traditional Japanese designs celebrating life from a tea ceremony to making a cup to soothe a distraught mind. With images to suit every mood, you're sure to find the perfect coloring page. Quotes from the book are strewn throughout, making your coloring experience a positive one.
The book itself has double-sided prints, but the paper is like a thick cardstock, so colored pens and markers shouldn't bleed through. You'll have the opportunity to color butterflies, hummingbirds, teapots, flowers, koi fish and so many other brilliant designs. "In the Japanese tea ceremony, the act of making and drinking a bowl of tea is an act of respect, gratitude and interconnectedness. It's about emptying your mind of cares as you enjoy one of life's simplest pleasures." As tea calms you and clears your mind, so does the joy of adult coloring books. This is the perfect combination of pure zen.
Meditations on Tea brings a love of art, tea and life into one. Find the time to make your life a little simpler with the technique of coloring.
