Gyo no Shin

• At beginning, kobukusa can be comfortably in front of you, not giri giri. Just move to giri giri later for final place.
• Wipe 3x “San” BEFORE taking out chasen. Yes it’s different.
• Chashaku wiping
  • Beginning and end, the second wipe is from the bottom
  • No yoho-sabaki on first, yes snap on second (weird, no symmetry)
• Daisu can be any unlacquered wood like kiri, sugi, kuwa
• Apparently there are kantou and kansai styles of juuden?
• At end, chaire stays on kobukusa to take out. Treat like wakin: take both together on palm, bring your L thumb down when R hand starts supporting
• Meibutsu chaire, there are two. Idk one, and the other is kanmori koseto daikai
• Kongou kinran apparently comes from a noh theater (kongou theater) in Kyoto? Doesn’t exist anymore, existed in Glenn’s time. They had meisui there
• Tapping the bowl
  • Scoop tea sukuidashi, then tap once at 7’, then place chashaku on hane
  • Then close lid, return chaire to kobukusa
  • Then zigzag, then tap 2x at 7’
  • (Does a pretty good job at getting the tea off)
• Apparently you can ask for kobukusa for haiken too.
  • Related, he had Kristina open her own kobukusa and put lid on that, rather than on the host kobukusa
  • If you ask for kobukusa, you should haiken it
• For all juuden except one that’s guri, his group just says “karamono kurodai”.

Chaire Kazari

• when moving bowl at very beginning, “I have a tendency to just support” ie 1h with support instead of full equal 2h
