Shikaden Notes from Gunji-sensei

Shikaden

• For shikaden, no shoryaku (no abbreviations). Also every time you open the door and you move dougu during haiken, gyou no te. Put hand down on floor.
  • Not for satsubako
• For door, you should do like daisu no hibashi. Put both hands down, then open door.
• For dougu no haiken, kyaku should wait until the host leaves with the chawan before retrieving the dougu.
• Don’t make sound with the hishaku, even with take

Karamono

• Mage mizusashi, tomebushi chashaku, karamono chaire, bowl is normally old black raku
• Kazari is mizusashi and chaire, no daisu
• Start with bowl temae in sadoguchi, walk in and immediately close door behind you
• Sit and place bowl karioki (bit closer to furo - Kris), R then L
• Bring chaire temae, two hands (L support)
• Immediately begin opening and kiyome
• Open chaire is near then far, then in your hand is L then R
• Placing down, keep L with shifuku very close (still supporting) as you place temae
• Flip shifuku mizu no hou instead of hi no hou
• Shin no sabaki
• Lid, wipe near then far
• Spin chaire, going clockwise 3x
• After, fukusa wo hirogaru and under like zabuton. Rehold into R, then move toward mizusashi. Place chaire in front of mizusashi by exiting the zabuton from 12 o’clock
• Take 3rd from bottom, koshi fukusa
• Bring chawan back temae, L then R
• Scoot back L, R, L, then leave and get kensui
• Open, close, etc
• Sit with kensui at temaeza at the same position you left, so kinda far from the line
• Place kensui below knee line (curent kknee line)
• Scoot forward R, L, R
• Futaoki + Hishaku (don’t make a sound!), sorei
• Clean chashaku (so no sabaki)
• After cleaning chashaku, nigiriconde fukusa and do nagashidate (ue ue and place chashaku on the lid with scoop actually on the lid, body coming out at about 4:30)
• Chasen, place kensui no kata (like kinin kiyotsugu)
• Chakin, place onto mizusashi lid by going arouuuund the chaire (on the right)
• Normal chasentoshi etc
• Taking chakin, go arouuuund, when done place on kama no futa
• To scoop tea, take chashaku from center and walk hand down shita shita. Then place onto bowl.
• 2h pick up chaire, bring to 9oclock and place on your palm, open lid and place at 3oclock while flipping upside down
• Tsukuridashi (no mawashi dashi)
• Then close lid, place back by mizusashi
• Make z in tea, walk up ue ue on chashaku, then place back on lid
• Open mizusashi - hands go arouuund, hold both hands at 5 and 7. R goes immediately to 9 o’clock, then place L of mizusashi so the seam faces up
• Make koicha, serve like normal
• Clean bowl like normal, go until chashaku
• Chashaku, TODO mochikata here? Do you walk it up or just hold directly? (Walk it up - kris) Anyway regardless, pick up chashaku, pull kensui, so sabaki like usual, place on bowl
• Pom Pom, koshi
• R then L, place bowl kattetsuki (or himado, TODO check) between kattetsuki and himado - kris
• Add mizu to kama, close lid (also going around dougu)
• Kyaku asks for chaire haiken ONLY
• Put back Hishaku, Futaoki
• 2h pick up chaire, turn to kyakutsuki
• Gyo no sabaki, wipe, spin 3x, move like zabuton and rehold to R, turn on fukusa, place out with fukusa supporting
• This goes kantsuki, kind of center of ro cut
• Let top flap open in fukusa slightly, take top flap and let drop
• Koshi
• Guest then asks for haiken of rest of dougu
• Place dougu kind of separated, with shifuku overlapping into chashaku
• Guest gets dougu when host stands with chawan
• To move dougu, separate shifuku and chashaku, move, reassemble, repeat
• Chaire stays herisoto
• Bring chaire front, view zenbu, then open kobukusa to right
• Lid goes on kobukusa upside down
• Always come out from door (don’t be thief!)
• Return
• To leave from temaeza, hold shifuku and chashaku like normal
• Spiritually use 2h to pick up chaire, hover chaire just a hair above L thumb
• At sadoguchi, place like normal

Daitenmoku

[[29)…「台天目」【風炉】　　　 | 朝日茶道教室](https://shimono.exblog.jp/19625345/|お稽古風景(29)…「台天目」【風炉】　　　 | 朝日茶道教室]]

• The following notes are all for furo.
• Note, still using gyo no te here for everything.

Chawan + dai atsukai

• Both chawan and dai are karamono. However, chawan is handled with R→L, dai is handled with L→R.
• When holding the chawan + dai, R should have pinky bent closed (so the back side is touching the hozuki, the stand), ring finger touching the seam, then middle + index finger on the bowl. L is on the hane like usual.

Dougu setup

• Zouge chashaku
• Karamono tenmoku chawan + amagasaki (karamono) dai
  • Amagasaki is the name of a port city in japan where much of the equipment from china came through. Chawan + dai aren’t necessarily a set and were often assembled once they got to Japan.
• Wamono chaire
• Mage mizusashi
  • Seam of mizusashi should be in front, seam of lid should be in back
• Regular furo, kama, kensui

Same as regular koicha, except chawan + dai starts out already in front of mizusashi. Reasoning is that tenmokujawan should never be kattetsuki, so you put it out front to begin.

Junban

Entering the room

• Start with kensui, do everything like usual to start
  • Enter room, close door, go to temaeza, place kensui down
  • Take out hishaku and futaoki, sorei, move kensui, imae

Kiyome

• Bring dai and chaire to temae
• Clean chaire like usual, place down like usual (wamono)
• Cleaning chashaku is modoshibuki (QUESTION, name?)
  • Fold like regular sou-sabaki
  • Pick up chashaku, clean first three wipes like usual
  • On last wipe, go up to the kaisaki but not past it. Then come back down.
  • Push the chashaku forward with your thumb
  • Pull out chashaku 1-2 from the top of the fukusa
  • Refold fukusa while holding chashaku nigirikonde
  • Do one last wipe
• Place chashaku on chaire
• Take out chasen, wipe mizusashi lid, place chakin on mizusashi without moving dai. Go around the dougu when moving the chakin.
  • TODO QUESTION: You don’t move the dai here, right?
  • QUESTION: Do you also go around the dougu here?
• Add hot water to chawan, hishaku rather low (almost in the bowl, so that it doesn’t splash the dai). L should support like blade to the left of the chawan.
• Pick up chawan with both hands, kosusugi in center of body 3x, starting by tipping the bowl forward then going CCW
• Empty the bowl with 2H, then wipe the bowl with the lowest section of your right ring finger
  • QUESTION: do you wipe going up, or going down?
• Bring bowl back, place onto dai 2H
• Add hot water (same way as before), then place chasen into bowl (L supporting)
• With both hands, move bowl to himado
• Take fukusa from wherever it is (kensui/koshi) and do shin-sabaki. Wipe dai.
  • Nigiriconde, pick up from hane at 9 and 3 (L then R)
  • Hold L deeply around hosozuki, with thumb on top and fingers inside on the bottom of the dai. Should be slightly tilted downward like how you do for yamamichi bon.
  • First with fukusa point up (tate), wipe 9 to 3 in front side of hosozuki.
  • Then pointing down (tate), wipe 9 to 3 in back side of hosozuki
  • Then with fukusa in normal position (horizontal, front forward), wipe front part of hane 9 to 3
  • Then wipe back part of hane 9 to 6, kind of a question-mark shape
  • Nigirikonde, rehold hane at 9 and 3, then place down
    • TODO verify, I think when you place it down here, you place it closer to you
• Return fukusa back to wherever it was (kensui/koshi).
• Pick up chawan + oyu + chasen combo, place in L palm, then do chasentoshi in your palm
  • First 2x age, then sara sara, then take out chasen and place down by mizusashi
• Empty chawan with 2h into kensui, then wipe with chakin
  • QUESTION: Do you catch the drip here with the chakin?
• Place back down on dai, remove chakin and place on kama no futa (from 6 o’clock)

Making tea

• Take chaire with 2H (wamono but special), add tea like usual
  • Because it’s a zouge chashaku, you hit at 7 o’clock inside the bowl instead of tapping at 3 o’clock on the rim. Mochikata should be tenari.
• Place chashaku back on chaire lid, open mizusashi lid by avoiding the dougu
  • Pick up at 8 o’clock and 4 o’clock
  • Rehold at 9 o’clock
  • Place down s.t. the seam is facing upward
• Add cold water (avoiding front), then add oyu to koicha. Again, L supporting like blade, pouring lower than usual. Add 2 scoops like usual.
• To knead, you can hold like how you do to carry in (pinky tucked in, ring finger on the seam)
  • TODO verify this
• When tea is ready, pick up dai from 9 and 3, turn, and place out at kantsuki.
• Scoot back and sit hikae

Guest procedure

Teishu:

• Remember, sitting hikae facing kyakutsuki
• After first sip, ask about ofukukagen (gyo bow)
• Return to hikae and wait.
• Once conversation starts, come up to sou bow like normal. When done with conversation, return to hikae?
• At suikiri, return and add water/fukusa wo koshi ni tsukeru

Guest:

• Bring chawan + dai back to your spot, leaving out mannaka herisoto. Sorei with it there in place
• How to drink:
  • With 2h, kansha, then place back onto dai
  • Take out kobukusa, open heriuchi
  • Place bowl on kobukusa
  • Turn bowl CW (R→L) 90 + 90 degrees
  • Lift whole thing and drink. Each hand should be holding equally, ie when you’re scooping water with your hands. NOT left palm + support R
  • When done, place down, wipe like usual
  • Turn back L→R CCW
  • Place back on dai
  • Close kobukusa
  • Pass chawan + dai herisoto
• Tsume brings bowl back to shoukyaku for haiken
• How to haiken:
  • First view everything
  • Then put out kobukusa to R of dai
  • View bowl, put on dai (exiting/entering at 6 o’clock for both dai + kobukusa)
  • View dai
  • Return bowl to dai, put kobukusa back to kaichu
  • View whole thing
  • Pass
• Deai and return bowl back to teishu in kantsuki

Shimai

• Turn back to kyakutsuki, take chawan + dai, return to temae, sorei
• Kyaku asks about chawan no godenrai, dai no goyuishho (all while teishu isn’t moving).
  • Chawan no godenrai could be “matsudaira denrai no tenmokujawan”
  • Dai no goyuissho is normally “amagasaki”
• After questions, teishu adds hot water in same way as in prior steps
• 2H empty water, wipe with ring finger, place back on dai, “ichiyo oshimai”
• Add cold water in the same way as usual, avoiding shomen
• Do chasentoshi
  • This time, it’s with the chawan inside the dai
  • First sara sara, then immediately do your first lift (don’t place it down on the side). Then place down like usual and do nidaime no age.
• Take out chasen, empty 2h like usual, catch drip with chakin (TODO check this), place back into dai, place chasen into bowl
• Take chashaku, pull kensui, take fukusa (like usual)
• Second kind of modoshibuki:
  • Fold and clean chashaku like usual, stopping at the kaisaki on the third wipe
  • Come back down, push through, then pull-pull out from top of fukusa
  • At this point, pom pom into kensui.
  • Then without refolding, wipe one more time.
• Place chashaku back on bowl, then koshi fukusa.
• Move chaire back into place, then move chawan + dai back into place (triangle in front of mizusashi)
• Add cold water (avoiding dougu)

Haiken

• Guest asks for usual haiken (chaire, chashaku, shifuku)
• Hishaku and futaoki goes to normal place
• Tenmokujawan is not allowed to go to kattetsuki. So you bring chaire temae, then move chawan + dai to mizusashi no shomen.
• Turn with chaire, kiyome and place out like usual.
• Same with chashaku and shifuku.
• Exit with kensui like usual
• Come back and exit with chawan + dai like usual, following the mochikata for tenmokujawan
• Finish like usual
  • Take mizusashi, leave, come back, answer haiken questions, leave

Satsubako (茶通箱)

[[31)…「茶通箱」【風炉】　　 | 朝日茶道教室](https://shimono.exblog.jp/19812949/|お稽古風景(31)…「茶通箱」【風炉】　　 | 朝日茶道教室]]

Note: the following notes are all for furo marujoku

Dougu setup

• A satsubako with two tea containers in it, a chaire and a natsume in an otsubukuro. They should face opposite directions, ie the chaire faces forward and the otsubukuro faces away.
• The satsubako is placed on the top of the tana with the chaire side facing toward temaeza.
• Other dougu is normal, all wamono.
• During nakadachi, you take out the chaire the following way:
  • Sit tana shomen, take down box and place directly in front of you.
    • Note: when the satsubako has things inside, you handle L then R. When it’s empty, you handle R then L.
  • Take off the lid and place it geza (left)
  • 1H remove the chaire and place to the right of the box
  • With right hand, pick up otsubukuro so that your index finger is at 10 oclock and your thumb is at 4 oclock. Remember, right now it’s backwards relative to you. Then lift it out, put on palm tenari, then turn it one more time so otsubukuro shomen is facing you.
  • Return otsubukuro to the center of the box
  • Put lid back on, put box back onto center of the tana, move chaire back to normal koicha position

Junban

• Enter like normal and make regular koicha. Only big difference is that the shifuku goes to the left of the box rather than the center, and it’s a little forward so you can see the shifuku from behind the box.
  • QUESTION: The futaoki never goes onto the tana… so should you use a take futaoki, or should you use a ceramic futaoki? My gut says to use ceramic, bc it’s not hakobi, but I don’t know if that rule always applies .
• First guest drinks, “ofuku kagen”, then teishu turns. Regular conversation happens. Then teishu turns back (so still normal)
• CHAKIN → FUKUSA. Teishu refolds the chakin a la irekodate and places back onto the kama no futa. Then they take fukusa. At this point, shoukyaku asks, “お茶をも一服お願いします” or something like that. Note that this happens while chawan haiken is going on.
• [Chawan haiken is still happening]
• Teishu moves over to tana shomen and picks up box. Then still holding the box, they move back to tatami no center.
• Teishu turns the box CCW 90 degrees.
  • Left thumb up, right thumb up
  • Left hand rehold so your hand is a C shape holding the box, R does the same
  • L goes up to corner, R goes down to corner
  • Turn
  • L goes up to center, R goes down to center
  • L goes from C to flat, palm holding on the side, R does the same
  • L thumb comes down, R thumb comes down
• Place on tatami. At this point, box should be horizontal relative to you, and the otsubukuro no shomen is facing to the right
• Lift the lid and rest it (kake) against the front of the box.
• Take out otsubukuro with R, atsukai in L palm, then place behind the satsubako in the center as a temporary position.
• Close the box
• Pick up box and turn back CW 90 degrees
  • This is the same atsukai, except the box is now empty, so you handle with R instead of L
• Holding the box, scoot back over to tana shomen, place box on the tana
• Scoot back to center
• Move otsubukuro close, then open and purify the otsubukuro/natsume. Otsubukuro goes directly on top of the shifuku on the tana
  • BIG DIFFERENCE: Instead of yoho-sabaki, you SNAP the fukusa like they do in omotesenke. This snap is the indication that the bowl should be returned.
• Once purified, natsume goes into himado position (火窓, literally “fire window”, so in front of the furo). This should be in the same line as the chaire, ie no differentiation of rank
• At this point, bowl should be returned. Bring the bowl inside, sorei, add hot water, empty, rewipe with chakin, and put chakin back on kama no futa.
• Scoop tea from natsume like normal. This is like tsuzuki-usucha style pre-irekae. Return natsume back to himado when you’re done, as well as chashaku back to its regular spot.
• Make tea like usual. Don’t add cold water (ie same as kasanejawan). Place tea bowl out.
• Teishu stays facing temaeza at this point, no turning toward kyakutsuki. First sip, “ofukukagen”, then IMMEDIATELY ADD MIZU to kama. The mnemonic here is “MIZU → CHAMEI”.
• After adding mizu and after second guest has started drinking, have conversation about this second tea.
• At suikiri, shoukyaku asks for chaire and shifuku haiken.
• Teishu does irekae with natsume and chaire like normal tsuzuki-usucha style.
  • Chashaku to mizusashi
  • Chaire to temae
  • Natsume (WITH L) to mizusashi no mae
  • Chashaku back onto natsume
• Teishu does normal chaire no haiken, places out.
• Teishu turns back to temaeza for the shifuku. To take shifuku, pick up with thumb and forefinger from tana like usual. However, you take both otsubukuro and shifuku at the same time (remember, the otsubukuro is on top of the shifuku at this point). Pick up otsubukuro like normal and place back onto same spot on tana. Then turn and put shifuku out.
• KYAKU PORTION:
  • Once dougu is out, shoukyaku and tsume come out to deai with the bowl.
  • First, shokyaku comes up and grabs the chaire and shifuku, placing in karioki position by their right knee.
  • Then tsume gives bowl to shokyaku.
  • Kinda reaching over the dougu in the now-karioki position, shokyaku returns chawan to the dougu teiza, then they take chaire and shifuku back to their spot like normal.
• Once all the guests are back to their seats, teishu brings in the bowl for sorei. They add hot water, empty, and “ichiyo oshimai itashimasu.” After this, guests can start haiken with the chaire and shifuku that they took back.
• While guests start doing haiken, teishu starts cleaning up like normal. Everything at this point is the same.
• Once oshimai is done, shokyaku asks for haiken like usual. However, they also ask to see the satsubako.
• Teishu prepares everything for haiken like usual.
  • Note: this is not a tsuzuki-usucha style where the natsume is lower than the chashaku. The natsume was also part of the koicha, therefore it’s treated as highly as the chaire. So when putting dougu out (and also when considering the order of haiken purificiation), you do it in “the usual order”, ie natsume → chashaku → otsubukuro.
• Dealing with the box:
  • After placing the otsubukuro out, teishu turns back to face tana shomen
  • Teishu takes the box (again, now handling primarily with R)
  • Teishu turns to face kyakutsuki, then does the fun box atsukai to turn it around. Basically, it’s like turning a chabako box, except it’s all done in the air. Then they place it out below the otsubukuro.
• Teishu turns back and takes the hishaku, futaoki, and kensui from the room
  • QUESTION: Why no kazari?
• Teishu goes back to get the chawan. At this time, kyaku can come forward and pick up the equipment
• KYAKU PORTION:
  • Tsume has the already-viewed chaire and shifuku by their side, so shokyaku and tsume deai.
  • Shokyaku first moves all the new haiken dougu into karioki position, then tsume gives the chaire and shifuku to them hizamae.
  • Shokyaku returns chaire and shifuku to the regular spot for the teishu.
    • QUESTION: This is a really shitty position. You end up reaching over the box to place the equipment out. Is there a good way to do this?
  • Shokyaku returns with all the new haiken dougu
  • NOTE: If you are in hiroma and have to stand, you do the following:
    • Open the box and place the lid geza
    • Place the natsume into the center of the box
    • Close the lid
    • Put the chashaku on the box diagonally, tsuyu by the upper left corner of the box
    • Place the otsubukuro on top of the chashaku (like a blanket! it’s actually cute af)
• After teishu gets the chawan, teishu waits at the door for the guests to finish moving and such. Once the dougu is back, teishu comes (with no mizutsugi) to return the chaire and shifuku. No bow or anything, just sit, pick up, leave.
• Teishu returns with mizutsugi and fills, then leaves.
• Kyaku view the equipment, then return.
  • NOTE: The box should be turned on the ground, a la chabako (guests don’t turn the box in the air)
• When teishu returns, they should have a filled usuchaki in front of them (hiza mae) to prepare for the usucha portion of chaji. So when they return, the come in with a natsume (holding 2H on palm) and place onto the tana before turning and answering questions about the dougu
• For dougu questions, start with chaire even though it’s no longer in the room
• Satsubako has a name… yoroubuta?
• Then leave in the same way as described above for shokyaku to stand and walk out
• At very end, don’t separate things. Place the box and all, whole set, to the right of your knee then bow and shitsurei.

Wakin

[[30)… 「和巾」【風炉】　　　 | 朝日茶道教室](https://shimono.exblog.jp/19808479/|お稽古風景(30)… 「和巾」【風炉】　　　 | 朝日茶道教室]]

Note: The following are all notes for furo.

Remember that all shikaden (minus satsuubako) uses gyo no te, so a hand should be down on the floor when opening/closing the door and when putting dougu out/bringing dougu back into temaeza

QUESTION - what about during temae, like when you take the shifuku off and place it behind the mizusashi?

Wakin atsukai

Nakatsugi + wakin are wamono, so atsukai is all sou sabaki + R then L.

• First, R takes lower left corner with thumb and forefinger OVERHAND (purpose is to lift the fabric up to make room for L)
• L takes this corner with thumb and forefinger UNDERHAND
• R reholds the same spot UNDERHAND
• R slides around and up to right-middle
• L slides up to left-middle
• R reholds around nakatsugi such that thumb + three fingers are around nakatsugi, pinky is still underneath kobukusa
• Lift and move
• After move, remove both hands at the same time
• [Optional] If the fabric is stuck floating in the air, press down with both thumbs at the same time

Dougu setup

• Seto hitoeguchi mizusashi
• Tantansai-gonomi kuwa nakatsugi (中次)
• Shouha donsu wakin + shifuku
  • Note: The wakin is never folded in half!

• Kama is undecided

Start with the nakatsugi in the shifuku on the wakin in the normal koicha position.

• Bring in kensui, open hishaku, sorei, imae, etc.

Kiyome

• Move bowl in front of you, as far as you can
• Bring wakin and nakatsugi both to temae, regular chaki spot. This will be very very cramped.
• Open like normal, generally handling with 2H (when turning it after initial open, when lifting into palm, when placing back down onto wakin)
• Flip shifuku hi no hou like normal, place in normal position by shikiita
• Regular wamono yoho-sabaki + sou-sabaki. Nigiriconde fukusa in R to pick up nakatsugi.

  • Put fukusa on koshi
• Turn back, put out chashaku and shifuku in normal positions (not kantsuki, not overlapping)
• Leave with all equipment etc (guest picks up when you stand with chawan)

  • “O nakatsugi wa?” — tantansai gonomi kuwa nakatsugi
  • “O wakin no godenrai wa?” — matsudaira denrai no teika shouha donsu
  • Then chashaku + shifuku like normal
• Leaving the room:
  • First pick up wakin + nakatsugi, place whole thing on L, then hold the top of the nakatsugi with L thumb
  • With R, pick up chashaku nigirikonde, then pick up shifuku from the side
  • Hold chashaku + shifuku combo above nakatsugi, with your forefinger knuckle touching the top of the nakatsugi
  • Getting back into the sadoguchi, place down like usual. However, if you need to flip the shifuku, you flip it at the very end after you’ve placed down the nakatsugi + wakin

Bondate

Bondate is basically karamono with a zouge chashaku and a bon added. So in that way, karamono and daitenmoku is a sort of warigeiko for bondate.

Bon Atsukai

This is the file that Gunji-sensei sent us, but this doesn’t seem right… the top and bottom are the same. When we did this, we did square. Haiken diagram was the same, but regular cleaning was left to right, starting from top and going down, then doing right-side top to bottom.

Anyway. For purifying the bon:

• Fold fukusa into either shin no sabaki or gyo no sabaki, then nigiriconde
• Lift the tray with both hands. Holding the whole thing in the air, tilt the right side down slightly (not touching tatami)
• Wipe as in the diagram, hand is tenari
• After the last wipe, move your fukusa + hand slightly underneath the bon, then follow the outside rim as you return back to your RH placement position to hold the bon with 2H. As you’re moving your hand around the rim, you nigiriconde.

An extra note: Any time you’re moving things in and out of the bon, always enter/leave from 6 o’clock.

Dougu setup

• Small shin-nuri bon
• Karamono chaire (should be denraimono)
• Zouge chashaku
• Magemizusashi (tana is never used)
• Wamono chawan (preferably kuroraku)
• Karakane kensui
• Two okashi and one mizumono

Begin the temae with bon + chaire out, one mei from the front center of the mizusashi.

Junban

Entering the room

• Start with the bowl temae like normal. Open the door gyo no te, then turn and close the door immediately. Walk to temaeza.
• Place bowl to karioki with L
• Pull the bon forward from 1 mei to 3 mei away from the mizusashi
• Without momite (the chaire is still inside the shifuku), pick up the chaire with 2h and place temae
• Undo the knot, pull the cord like usual, then use 2h to turn the chaire
• Open bottom, then top (karamono dakara)
• With two hands, pick up the chaire+shifuku combo and place tenari at himado
• Now that the chaire is partially taken care of, you can clean the bon.
  • Fukusa no shin no sabaki
  • Hold nigiriconde, pick up bon, and wipe
  • Place bon back down at 1 mei away from the mizusashi (original position)
  • Give fukusa to L, grab the third from the TOP (not the bottom), and put back on your obi
• With 2h, pick up chaire+shifuku and place in your palm
• Open left, then right (karamono dakara)
• Take off the shifuku, placing the chaire down using L as support (the shifuku basically touching the side)
• Flip shifuku mizu no hou, place back like usual
• Purify chaire
  • First, shin no sabaki
  • Hold the fukusa nigiriconde, pick up chaire with 2h
  • Wipe lid near, far
  • Doubuki (pushing, not pulling)
  • After doubuki, bring the fukusa under the chaire like zabuton
  • Switch hands to be holding primarily with R
  • Keeping zabuton, bring the chaire + fukusa to the bon together, then separate the chaire from the fukusa as you put the chaire back onto the bon
  • Pick up the third from the bottom corner with your index finger, place back on your obi
• L→R bring the bowl and everything back in front of you. Don’t wipe chashaku yet.
• Scoot back, then stand and go to the mizuya for kensui etc. Close and open the door as needed.
• Entering temaedatami with kensui, take three very small steps, then sit. This should be the same position as you were when you stood up earlier.
• Place the kensui at your KNEE LINE (which is a bit lower than usual). Scoot forward. Take hishaku, futaoki, sorei, pull kensui.
  • NOTE: Shikaden, so no sound

Kiyome

• Note that by this point, the chawan is already in its position at temae.
• Purify chashaku
  • So no sabaki
  • Clean initially like usual
  • At the end, do fukimodoshi. So after three, bring fukusa back down. Push through with your thumb, then pull chashaku out twice. Hold nigiriconde, refold, and wipe the length of the chashaku one final time.
  • Rehold fukusa nigirconde in L, then use L to support as you switch grip to hold chashaku from the side with R
  • Place chashaku to the left of the chaire on the bon
• Still holding fukusa, put chasen out to kensui no kata, then chakin onto mizusashi no futa.
  • NOTE: Always avoid the chaire. So when you move to the mizusashi, whether your hands are empty or holding something, move arooouund the mizusashi.
  • NOTE: Chawan is already at temae, so no hiki needed
• Add water, warm bowl and chasen like usual

Making tea

• Note: by now, the chaire is out of its shifuku, so you need to momite if you’re going to handle it.
• Momite 3x, on the third time moving toward the chaire to pick it up.
• Rehold chaire onto your palm, cupping it a bit.
• Take off the lid, flip in the air L→R and place onto the center of the bon
• Take the chashaku, start doing sukuidashi (掬い出し, ie to bail water out of a boat). No mawashidashi.
• After all the tea is scooped out, place chashaku on tea bowl like usual. Put the lid back on the chaire, flipping R→L. With 2h, put the chaire back onto the bon.
• Rehold chashaku and zigzag, then tap inside at 7 o’clock (holding tenari).
• Purify chashaku
  • So no sabaki, wipe like usual, then fukimodoshi.
  • However, after you push→pull→pull, you hold chashaku nigiriconde then pompom.
  • After pompom, sonomama, wipe the chashaku one last time.
  • Hold fukusa nigiriconde and rehold chashaku to grip sides, place back down on the bon
  • Women, put fukusa back onto tatami. Men put back onto obi
• Open mizusashi
  • For this, Gunji-sensei says to first grab at 7 and 5, then as you’re bringing the lid back to your body, scoot your left hand up to 8 or 9. Then R reholds at 11.
• Add water, make tea like usual, and have usual conversation.

Shimai

• Get the bowl back, sorei, pause and have conversation about the tea bowl.
  • NOTE: Gunji-sensei says that the chawan is often denrainomono too
• Clean bowl like usual
  • Hot water, empty, oshimai itashimasu, cold water, chasentoshi, empty, place chakin, place chasen
• Put chashaku onto bowl
  • You’ve already wiped the chashaku, so no wiping here. Just 3h rehold to place on top of the bowl
• Move bowl to kattetsuki with 2h (R→L)
• Mizu wo tashite, mizusashi no futa wo shimete
• Guest asks for haiken (“ochaire, obon, ochashaku, oshifuku”)

Haiken

• Bring hishaku and futaoki to kensui like usual
• Momite, pick up chaire, turn to kyakutsuki
• Purify chaire
  • Gyo no sabaki
  • Nigiriconde, pick up chaire with 2h, purify lid, doubuki 3x
  • Move fukusa under like zabuton
  • Switch hands, turn 3x with R. On the third turn, begin moving toward the dougudatami
    • TODO Question, do you turn this CW or CCW?
  • Finally, place chaire out to kantsuki
• Keeping your fukusa folded in L, turn back to imai (sp?)
• Flip up, take the top (?) corner with your thumb, and immediately fold into gyo no sabaki
• Nigiriconde into R, then pick up the bon with 2h and turn with it to kyakutsuki
• Wipe the bon
• Still holding the fukusa nigiriconde, turn the bon like normal wamono in the air
• Place out in the normal position, not kantsuki
• Put fukusa back on belt
  • TODO Question, do you do this here or do you do it back at imai?
• Turn back to imai, take chashaku, take shifuku, etc
• Leave with everything as usual
• Guest haiken portion
  • ******* General rule ***, any time you handle something else that’s not the chaire then you go to touch the chaire, you need to momite
  • Shokyaku comes up to take dougu
  • Momite 3x, then place chaire onto bon.
  • Move everything together (one line, no kantsuki) up to your space
  • Put bon herisoto, everything else heriuchi
  • To haiken the chaire + bon:
    • Mazu, subete haiken shite
    • Then take out kobukusa and place to right of bon
    • Momite
    • Look at lid, then flip and place onto kobukusa
    • Look at chaire (over the bon? we weren’t exactly sure)
    • Return lid to chaire, move chaire onto kobukusa
    • Look at bon
    • Momite
    • Return chaire to bon
    • Move chaire + bon out of the way, still herisoto
  • To return everything:
    • Get back to the dougu spot, deai or whatever you need to do
    • Leaving the chaire on the bon, put the bon + chashaku + shifuku back to where they’re supposed to go
    • Momite, then take chaire out and place it kantsuki where it’s supposed to go
    • Note: all of these are still on R of the host. It’s a R/L thing, not a kamiza/geza thing.
• Conversation:
  • Chaire — this should be denrainomono
  • Bon — this is wamono and not necessarily denrainomono. The idea is that it was paired with the chaire some time after the chaire arrived in Japan
  • Chashaku — just regular zouge
  • Shifuku — just regular shifuku
• To leave:
  • Momite, place chaire onto the bon
  • Move bon + chaire heriuchi
  • Place chashaku onto the bon
  • Place shifuku on top of chashaku (should be inside the bon enough that you don’t need to steady it with your hands or anything)
  • Leave like that, holding the bon deeply
  • Sitting at sadoguchi, just place the entire thing as-is geza like usual. Don’t need to separate.
  • Shitsurei, bow, close door gyo no te
