A Disappointing Book,
By
This review is from: The Essence of Japanese Cuisine: An Essay on Food and Culture (Hardcover)
I received my copy recently, and have begun thumbing through it. Despite the time the authors spent in Japan and the support of the Japan Foundation, the book is immediately disappointing. Beginning with describing the color of takuan as "vile", I quickly discovered a variety of errors in the book. For example, the authors misidentified what a hot water kettle sits on in a tea ceremony. The iron implement which supports the kettle is properly called a godoku or gotoku. The kettle sits within either a ro (sunken hearth) or furo (portable hearth).
