Raw transcript and original voice memo is in Okeiko-Glenn-2025-12-07.

Special characteristics

  • Tori-oki
  • All dealings with the chawan are done in your hand (both chasentoshi, also making tea)

Temae

Setup

At the beginning of the shoiri:

  • Ji-ita is arranged just like in Gyo no Gyo.
    • Furo on the left, mizusashi on the right, shakutate and kensui in the middle.
    • However, be sure you leave enough room to the front left of the mizusashi for the chawan. It will go on the ji-ita to warm (bare chawan, no dai) between the mizusashi and the futaoki + kama-no-futa.
  • Tray with chaire in shifuku is centered on the ten-ita.

Nakadachi:

  • Bring chawan in shifuku on dai, chashaku vertical on the right.
  • Move bon with chaire to the right, then place chawan dai combo to left as-is. Ends up just like Shin no Gyo start.

Entrance

  • Enter with senzara.
    • This is a gyo temae, so there is no bow at the door.
    • Senzara starts centered in front of you. Open the door with shin hands.
    • Enter, close the door with the senzara still centered in front of you (not geza like in Shin no Gyo).
    • Sit low, place senzara at himadomae, scoot up.
  • Remove hibashi, then move senzara to its home to the lower left.
    • Hibashi are both at the same time like in Gyo no Gyo.
    • Senzara is above and tangent to the knee line like in Shin no Gyo.
  • Take chaire and chawan off the daisu.
    • Chaire + tray comes down to mizusashi shomen, giri giri to the front of the daisu.
    • Chawan dai comes down to himado-mae, also giri giri to the front of the daisu.
  • Pull kensui forward on the ji-ita, then place futaoki to front left corner of the ji-ita as in Shin no Gyo.
  • Sorei.

Kiyome

This feels a lot like Bondate.

Chaire and chashaku

  • Pull the karamono tray 3 mei forward, then bring the chawan + dai and the chaire to temae.
    • Like Gyo no Gyo, chaire and chawan are both in front of you at the same time. Same feeling as in hakobi.
  • Open the chaire partially like in Bondate, placing it tenari to himado-mae while still in the shifuku.
  • Kiyome the tray.
    • Shin-sabaki, then wipe the tray just like Bondate. No Kuni-baki or anything else.
    • Return back to kami-ichimai after you finish wiping, then fukusa koshi.
  • Open kobukusa between chawan and your body.
  • Finish opening chaire like in Bondate, placing on kobukusa.
    • Handling is like usual for a karamono chaire, ie left → right opening and shifuku flip mizu-no-hou.
    • Shifuku goes to ten-ita front left corner.
  • Kiyome chaire.
    • Shin sabaki, then wipe with fukusa opened for the doubuki (same as Shin no Gyo).
    • Itsy-bitsy-spider to swap hands, then place chaire back to tray.
  • Keeping fukusa folded in shin, kiyome chashaku.
    • While fukusa is still in zabuton, flip it down toward you to get to the “usual” wiping orientation.
    • Wipe 3x with fukusa in shin, then push-pull-pull, refold into sou sabaki, wipe 1x.
    • Place chashaku onto tray, then leave fukusa folded in sou-sabaki to the usual karioki position beyond and to the right of your knee.
  • Return kobukusa to kaichu, then bring the chawan-dai to you.
  • Open the chawan shifuku.
    • Remember, the cord should be in the “bowtie” nagao knot, not shin musubi.
    • Despite it being tied like nagao, open it as we do for shin musubi in Shin no Gyo.
    • The chawan is not going back into the shifuku at the end, so instead of tying it Katatombo, tie it like you do in Nagao Chaire (the irreversible knot).
    • Fold the shifuku right-to-left like usual, then place to the front right corner of the ten-ita.

Oyu

  • Open the Hoyasan, then Kobiki the lid using your fukusa as-is from karioki.
    • Place fukusa below the senzara when done, still folded in sou-sabaki.
  • Warm the bowl.
    • Take the hishaku like in Gyo no Gyo (single pull from 3’), add half scoop of oyu to bowl.
      • *Remember, tori-oki for the hishaku. *
    • Kosusugi, empty into kensui (like Shin no Gyo), catch drip with ring finger.
    • Add another scoop of oyu, place chasen into bowl, then place bowl onto ji-ita in front and left of the mizusashi.
    • While the bowl is warming, wipe the dai as usual for Daitenmoku in shin sabaki, refolding back to sou sabaki on completion and placing below the senzara.
  • Chasentoshi.
    • Take the chawan from the ji-ita, then do chasentoshi in your hand.
    • After chasentoshi, chasen goes in a straight line beyond the senzara like in Shin no Gyo.
    • While your hand is there placing the chasen, take the chakin, pinch the side of the bowl, and empty into kensui.
    • Wipe, tatami-kae, return chakin to senzara.

Making tea

  • Scoop tea, mostly like Shin no Gyo.
    • Momite, then take chaire. Chaire lid goes back to the tray, flipped upside down if it is a heishibuta.
    • Take chashaku and scoop sukuidashi. Leave the chashaku in the bowl like Shin no Gyo.
    • Close the chaire and return it to the tray.
    • Zigzag with the chashaku, then 2x Yubi-uchi.
  • Before placing the chashaku down, kiyome.
    • Holding chashaku nigiriconde, take fukusa with R.
    • Take the bottom corner and fold sou-sabaki.
    • Wipe 3x, push-pull-pull, then refold sou-sabaki again from the bottom corner.
    • Wipe 1x, then return chashaku to the tray. No pom-pom, fukusa goes directly back to below the senzara.
  • Open mizusashi lid to 3’ (Daien no Sou gyo position).
  • Add a scoop of mizu to the kama, then pour oyu.
  • After oyu, place the chasen into the bowl, then pick up bowl and knead tea directly in your hand.
  • Return bowl with chasen still inside back onto the dai, then nonoji from the dai.
  • Chasen back to beyond the senzara.
  • Place out bowl like usual.
    • Turn to kyakutsuki, turn chawan-dai hidari-mawari, place out kantsuki.
    • Scoot back, hikae.

Conversation in just like in Shin no Gyo etc. Nothing special here.

On suikiri, turn back to imai.

  • Add cold water to the kama (escalator style from mizusashi to kama).
  • Koshi fukusa.

Shimai

  • Bowl comes back, taking from kyakutsuki and turning back like normal for tenmoku chawan. Sorei, then answer questions.
  • Clean the bowl in hand.
    • Add half scoop of oyu, kosusugi, dump with R (like Shin no Gyo), catch the drip with L, return to dai, ichiyo oshimai.
    • Add half scoop of mizu.
    • Place chasen into the bowl, then take bowl in hand and chasentoshi.
    • Chasen goes back to beyond the senzara.
    • While your hand is there, take the chakin and pinch the side of the bowl like in Shin no Gyo to do the last dump with L.
    • Catch the drip with the chakin, wipe, tatami-kae.
    • Chakin back to senzara, chasen to chakin.
  • Chawan back to himado-mae.
  • Replenish cold water (escalator), yugaeshi, then close shop.
    • Close kama lid while holding the hishaku, then return hishaku to shakutate.
    • Close hoyasan, leaving on front-left of ji-ita.
    • Close mizusashi.

Haiken

Guest asks Douzo o-bonchuu, o-shifuku wo.

  • Move the hoyasan from the front-left of the ji-ita to the left of the kensui (same as Shin no Gyo).
  • Take the tray (which currently has the chaire and chashaku) and turn to kyakutsuki.
    • General note, this handling is R→L.
  • Kiyome and place out tray with chaire and chashaku.
    • Like Shin no Gyo, open kobukusa to the right of the tray.
    • Shin sabaki and wipe chaire, opening fukusa for doubuki like at the beginning. When done, chaire goes to kobukusa with fukusa like zabuton.
    • With fukusa still in zabuton, place chashaku onto kobukusa to left of chaire.
      • [?] TODO We struggled with this one. We just moved the chashaku with one hand. In Sou no Shin though, you have a similar situation and you resolve it by doing 3h with fukusa nigiriconde. Maybe the same would work here? Need to follow up. ➕ 2025-12-29
    • Fold fukusa back in half to get back to your original shin sabaki fold, then give to right nigiriconde and pick up tray.
    • Wipe tray like you do at the end of Bondate (not kunibaki).
    • Fukusa kaichuu, then momite and return chaire and chashaku to tray.
    • Kobukusa kaichuu, then place the tray out kantsuki, turning migi-mawari.
  • Place out shifuku.
    • Turn back to daisu shomen.
    • Take shifuku in L, rehold into R (like usual), then turn to kyakutsuki and place out kantsuki with te wo suite.
  • Turn back to daisu shomen.
  • Finish closing up shop.
    • Place chawan + dai onto tenita (center). Return senzara to its original place himado-mae, then return hibashi at the same time to the shakutate.
    • Bring kensui off the ji-ita to below the knee line like Shin no Gyo.
    • Now that there is room, move the futaoki to its original position where the kensui was originally.
  • Exit with senzara and kensui like in Shin no Gyo.
    • Take senzara, place in R palm.
    • L hand on R knee, scoot back 3x, then back out.
    • At the door, kensui goes in front of left knee and senzara in front of right knee.
  • Return and exit with chawan and shifuku.
    • Sit low, scoot up.
    • Pull the chawan dai giri-giri to the front of the tenita.
    • Take the chawan, dai, and shifuku as described below. Scoot back and exit.
  • Return and replenish water with mizutsugi.
    • Sit low, crab walk up to mizusashi shomen.
    • Open mizusashi with 2h.
    • Replenish, close mizusashi, crab walk back, then exit with mizutsugi.
  • Return with clean kensui.
    • After replacing kensui, stand and turn directly from daisu shomen instead of backing out.

After guests finish haiken and return dougu:

  • Enter with a Rikyugata Chuu Natsume, then turn for conversation.
  • Bring the tray heriuchi, then place shifuku to upper-right corner.
    • If that isn’t possible for whatever reason, then place shifuku to Shin no Gyo position tucked below the front and center of the chaire.
  • Pick up the tray and exit.
    • Left holds the tray deeply.
    • Right holds the chaire body like Gyo no Gyo.
      • If the tray is too small, then the shifuku may be in the way of your right hand.
      • If that’s the case, leave your right hand pressing down on top of the shifuku (rather than trying to snake around it).
    • Tray combo is placed as-is to the wall. Sorei and close door.

How to exit with chawan, dai, and shifuku

  1. Take the shifuku in your right hand, still folded in half, and place in onto the hane. Hold it in place with your thumb on top of the shifuku and your fingers underneath the hane.
  2. Scoot back while holding everything as above.
  3. Before standing, with your left hand still holding the hane, rehold the shifuku.
    1. Place the shifuku scissored between your four fingers. The opening should be facing away from you.
    2. Next, push the shifuku against the chawan to fold it in half (down) again, with it now folded lengthwise in quarters.
      1. From a cross-section, it now looks like: hane → shifuku → pinky ring fingers → shifuku → middle, index, and thumb free.
    3. With the remaining three free fingers, hold the chawan.
    4. Stand and exit.
