General
- From Suzuki Sensei
- Glenn and Kathy teach for the fukusa in Shin no Gyo to go to the right of the senzara.
- suzuki teaches that it should go below the kensui, like in hakobi
- Related: Glenn teaches that in daien no shin, you have a line. Chasen, then senzara, then kensui, then fukusa.
- So maybe Suzuki Sensei feels like they should all do that?
- Tapping ivory in raku, tap at same position as tenmoku (9’).
- Previously, glenn has taught to tap at 3’. (Maybe that’s still true for kyoyaki?)
- Correction on Kosusugi - don’t move bowl up and down. Keep bowl in same place, but move elbows. suzuki ‘s correction about “Only daisosho is allowed to do that” is something they both agree with.
- Fukusa color
- The question was “can women use orange fukusa.” The books nowadays show it, but orange has historically been for Omotesenke.
- The Soke women use orange fukusa. The reason for that, though, is because they get their fukusa from Yuko. Yuko does not make red fukusa, only orange.
- People keep coming to Tokusai and asking about which fukusa color they should use, so she called the gyoteibu and asked. They said: “I know they show orange in the books. Orange is fine. However, the official colors for Urasenke are red for women and purple for men.”
- Overall takeaway is that orange is completely okay, even for events like Rikyuki etc at Urasenke. However, if people ask, the official color is still red.
- Glenn’s opinion: Both are totally fine. But if you are going to have multiple people on the host side, they should be uniform - all red or all orange. (That isn’t a rule, just an aesthetic preference).
- For Te wo tsuite, suzuki agrees that you should not force your hand to be in a certain place and cause your hands to cross.
Daien no sou
- For the “staging position” during haiken, while the guest is waiting for the host to finish taking the mizusashi out, it should be herisoto and to the right (like everything else), not centered on the guest.
- (Prior notes say it should be centered on the guest, even though that is a little nonsensical).
- For travel in terms of Te wo tsuite, a final treatise:
- While moving anytime in the kayoidatami, hand goes down.
- (aka while driving)
- While bringing the dougu in initially as the first guest, hand goes down.
- (aka while getting out of the car)
- While putting the dougu out to start doing deai as the last guest, hand goes down.
- (aka while getting back into the car)
- While viewing the equipment yourself, or passing it between guests, hand does not go down.
- (aka while no longer in transit)
- While moving anytime in the kayoidatami, hand goes down.
Bondate:
- Nothing new.
