- Natsume Kazari
- he thinks that you should place down natsume with R when putting on the kobukusa at after doing haiken kiyome.
- I think this makes sense, because in general the only reason we take the chaki with L is because R is occupied. In this case, R is not occupied, so why not?
- But this goes counter to what we do in Chabako, iirc, and Chitosebon definitely uses L (checked with the book). Need to look this up.
- Like Chaire Kazari, and unlike Wakin, you keep the fukusa on the tatami down while placing out the chaki, then return the fukusa to your obi.
- Dougu
- Yes, nuributa. “You don’t put dougu on a tomobuta.” Didn’t go into much more reason, but this feels fine to me.
- Better to avoid using any painted chawan. Plain chawan, kohiki, etc would work well. You shouldn’t detract from the natsume.
- He also thinks it would be nice to have a plain color kobukusa. Pure purple would be cool.
- Misc natsume ranking
- This temae is the highest temae for a natsume. So if you have something great, then use it here.
- But if you have a good rikyugata chuu natsume, the best temae for that would be Otsubukuro, ie elevating it to koicha.
- “Don’t forget, kazari-temae were originally using meibutsu dougu”
- he thinks that you should place down natsume with R when putting on the kobukusa at after doing haiken kiyome.
- Turning objects on kobukusa
- Directly added to that note.
- Chaire Kazari as well as Natsume Kazari
- When taking out the chaki at the very beginning, treat it like chabako. L is supporting the bowl when you take out the chaki, and L+R come away at the same time.
