In Cultivating Femininity, Rebecca Corbett writes women back into this history and shows how tea practice for women was understood, articulated, and promoted in the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) periods. Viewing chanoyu from the lens of feminist and gender theory, she sheds new light on tea's undeniable influence on the formation of modern understandings of femininity in Japan. Cultivating Femininity offers a new perspective on the prevalence of tea practice among women in modern Japan. It presents a fresh, much-needed approach, one that will be appreciated by students and scholars of Japanese history, gender, and culture, as well as by tea practitioners. 517 $aCultivating Femininity 606 $aJapanese tea ceremony 615 0$aJapanese tea ceremony. 676 $a394.15 700 $aCorbett$b Rebecca$0989748 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476845403321 996 $aCultivating femininity$92263778 997 $aUNINA
