Suzuki-sensei
Gozumi notes:
- After putting the kama on kamashiki, turn and face center of the tatami (ie furo shomen).
- When pulling kama, especially if the kamashiki is slippery, there is no lifting. Only pulling. Literally holding the kan horizontally.
- Neriko should go on the haisaji only just before temae starts.
- If the neriko is sticky, coat the bottom in shimeshibai before putting on the haisaji so it falls off properly when you empty it into the ro.
- During *baki, left hand should be on the floor.
- For *baki, hold below the white strip around the handle. This is maybe 1-1.5cm below the bottom of the hane.
- Rearranging the coals at the beginning, you can push all of the other coals away then only take the big ones and arrange them in the center. Aim to let air through, not make a big pile of hot sumi.
- Assist with left hand when scooping shimeshibai.
- Shimeshibai should be poured outside the gotoku from mountain to mountain. It should end up 70% outside, 30% inside, not all on the outside (ish).
- When reholding between 3 + 4, grab a full scoop, place CCW upward a bit to make reholding easier, then grab. Likewise, do the opposite between 4 + 5.
- Pouring from haisaji for 4, the scoop should be almost backward, like it’s parallel to your forearm.
- Final (5) shimeshibai should be as if you were drawing a triangle as kanji, ie kanji stroke order.
- Nakabaki, you can fwaf fwaf the gotoku a few times. So in the proper order, wipe each gotoku until it’s done. Then go back with one final teinei across all 3.
- When placing sumi in, it should be a proper fire first and foremost. 3 giccho aren’t on the right side — they’re just circling the fire. That means the last giccho ends up at 12 oclock or 11 oclock potentially.
- Edazumi can touch bottom of the kama, but regular sumi can’t.
- Leaving with the haiki to get the mizutsugi, stand with left and take first step with left (2 steps in temaedatami, L+R, not just R)
- When wiping the kama lid with chakin, actually hold the handle, don’t just touch the top with your fingertips.
Kinin notes (guest procedure was way different from what we did with Ro sensei)
- For one, the okashi dai procedure didn’t really matter. In a “real” kinin situation, the okashi dai wouldn’t exist. So whatever way works for the sensei.
- His drinking procedure was as follows:
- Bring dai in to the right, heriuchi.
- Lift bowl for kansha and drink (whole thing). Don’t leave extra in the bowl.
- After finishing the tea, put to the left (heriuchi).
- Have conversation about tea.
- After conversation, bring bowl in to center (but not on dai). Wipe as usual.
- Turn bowl back so that shomen faces you and place back on the dai.
- Place dai out herisoto and haiken the bowl. Don’t haiken the dai.
- Rest continues as normal.
