General shin notes
Overall, very similar to Shin no Gyo
Furo + Ro
- Tori-oki
- Kobiki when opening kama
- Hishaku is pull-pull from shakutate
- Hibashi are taken betsu-betsu
- Different from shin no gyo: Chasen stays in a vertical line w.r.t. senzara, not migi-kata.
- Shin-nuri nakatsugi with hitoguchi scoop of tea on folded hosho-gami at end
- Door opening is with hands in shin bow.
Daien no shin specifics
Daienbon usage
Like with any tray, point the chashaku to the middle of the bon.
- For the smaller Daienbon, the chashaku won’t fit that way at the beginning when the chaire is there, so you point the chashaku to the rear (ie where the chaire will go later during temae). But once the chaire moves, the center opens up.
- This includes when the chawan is on the tray. There’s still room to point the chashaku to center.
- For the bigger Ennosai konomi version, the chashaku can point to center the entire time.
Pinching the chakin against the side of the bowl when emptying water will be tight with the chashaku in this position. If you hold the chakin more deeply, and crush the fukudame, it won’t touch the chashaku.
Sanpo sabaki
- Kobukusa is used to kiyome the chaire, chashaku, and tenmoku dai. (Fukusa in sou-sabaki with sou-yoho-sabaki is used for the bon with ku-tsu-ri-i)
- General method
- Open the kobukusa as usual (wa on the right) and hold both upper corners. Over L knee as usual, close and open the corners.
- Take the next corner CCW and rotate, just like yoho-sabaki.
- Do the san-po sabaki part every time. Never skip and go straight to the fold.
- After the third close-and-open, kobukusa should be upside down with the mountain facing away from you, wa on the left.
- Bring back to center and fold like fukusa shin sabaki.
- [Kiyome]
- Generally, unfold the kobukusa. It will be backwards, with the wa on the left. Flip it over with R, then return.
- Chaire
- Kiyome just like oo-meibutsu in shin-no-gyo. Fold completely like shin sabaki, clean the lid, then doubuki with the kobukusa opened up.
- Place the chaire on the ten-ita, then fold the kobukusa up (folded edge should be on the top, busy side with corners etc should be on the bottom at this point).
- Then, flip the kobukusa over.
- Chashaku
- Same as shin-no-gyo, kiyome doing shin sabaki but leaving it open (one less fold than for chaire).
- Kiyome the chashaku “as usual” 3x, then push-pull-pull. After push-pull-pull, you do NOT rewipe! Rehold chashaku, place where it needs to go.
- Then deal with kobukusa. Fold up just like chaire, flip over.
- Dai
- Fold fully into shin sabaki as with chaire.
- Tate, wipe hozuki front-back, then wipe hane front-back just like in daitenmoku.
- Holding nigiriconde in R, put your thumb into the folded edge with L.
- Then with R, reach into the fold and open directly to wa on the right.
- Another way to do this is to do this betsu-betsu, open up then flip, but that feels mendokusai.
- This is one possible way to do it per juuden class, but Glenn was taught to do it this “shortcut” way.
Temae
Kyaku Notes
Haiken
- Use your fully-opened fukusa to view.
