Last was "The Book of Tea" by Kakuzo Okakura. Written in 1906 in English to introduce foreigners to Japanese (and more broadly East Asian) aesthetic philosophy. Tying historical developments around aesthetic practices in the region to their modern descendants, Okakura provides a rich, thought-provoking philosophical view of beauty and life with strong counterpoints to traditional Western approaches. Highly recommend
