- About Heishi-buta and Nagashitate (chashaku position)
- He was at chato no gi with Zabosai, and Zabosai was using a short tsubogata with heishibuta for hirademae. He placed it flat on top, and turned to the audience and said, “If it fits, put it flat.” This implies also that if it does not fit, you should stand it.
- Asking Juuden group, they said that their feeling is chashaku on lid is more about the temae than the object. So even if it has a regular lid in okuden, it should still be put standing.
- His feeling on karamono is that even if it was a regular lid, it should still be standing due to that juuden comment.
- Ula says that in karamono, if you have a regular lid then you should lay the chashaku flat. So I dunno.
- And related
- Daien no sou, he was taught to flip the lid when putting on bon
- But in juuden when we lean it on the tray, we do not flip it
- He also wonders about flipping on fabric. Feels more stable
