Once tou sits, enter with kadai and bring to tokonoma.
Sit at hanaire-shomen, but place kadai geza. (It ends up to the side of your body, not front).
Turn slightly away from tokonoma toward guests, then leave for mizuya.
Tou asks jikyaku to do hana.
Jikyaku stands, leaving their sensu, and does hana.
Walk to tokonoma.
Before doing anything else, haiken the hanaire.
Arrange the flowers in-hand, then place in the hanaire.
Tou asks jikyaku to add water, which the jikyaku actually does.
Mizutsugi held in R, chakin supporting base of spout with L.
Jikyaku returns the mizutsugi, fixes the flowers on the kadai, and turns the knife such that the sharp side faces away from the flowers on the kadai.
Jikyaku returns to their seat.
Hanto brings in sumitori, takes out kadai.
Enter with sumitori, placing as usual for sumidemae in temaeza.

Exit with haiki, returning everything (including fukusa) back to how it was in the upper-L corner of fumikomi.
Return to seat.
Hanto returns sumi dougu to mizuya.
First, return fukusa to obi, then take kami-kamashiki and haiki to mizuya.
Q: How do they walk here? Turn around, or back out?
Return, and take sumitori to mizuya.
Place the kou-bon in front to be ready.
(Kyaku haiken the sumi at this time in furo).
Hanto turns kou-bon at sadoguchi, brings to shokyaku. Next, hanto places chaire on floor (already displayed on tana) for koicha.
Tou asks shokyaku to do kou.
Prepare kou:
Check condition of fire with R.
Advance toward the bon.
Remove the top lid of the kou-ro with 2h, place to R of bon on tatami.
Remove folded-paper-incense from the kou-ro, placing R heriuchi 2 mei.
Return lid, then open the second stack (2h, place to R).
Using the pliers, place mica square onto hiire (L supporting R wrist).
Using ring fingernail, gently press the mica chip.
Pick up the incense packet and give to L. R unfolds the bottom. R takes hashi → opens the top → opens the side → takes incense lengthwise. L folds it all back except for bottom, then places heriuchi geza temporarily (while R is still holding hashi).
Place incense on mica (L supporting wrist). Hashi back to tray.
Tuck the top flap back into the bottom flap of the incense packet, then return kamiza heriuchi.
Enjoy kou:
Shokyaku tests kou first. Hold in L palm with thumb up, R making a chimney. Breathe, exhale away from other guests. Just once!
Koro is passed heriuchi (not by hand). Koro is turned hidari-mawari, osaki-ni before imbibing. Everybody except hanto enjoys.
Note: Tou osaki-ni’s to the shokyaku, as they will enjoy last.
After enjoying kou themselves, tou stands and brings kou-ro to shokyaku geza without turning (as it’s already facing them).
Shokyaku imbibes, replaces to tray.
Meanwhile enjoying kou:
Shokyaku closes juu-kou-ro, then reopens the lid and places the incense packet in the top-most layer. Then, shokyaku scoots back to their usual position.
After shokyaku enjoys kou, tou asks to leave the incense burning (douzo o-kou wo so-no-mama ni).
Shokyaku advances to bon, turns migi-mawari, then returns back.
Hanto enters, places the bon in the tokonoma.
After placing the kou-bon in tokonoma, hanto brings in koicha dougu.
Enter with chawan, place okiawase with chaire.
Exit, reenter with kensui and place in same position as haiki earlier.
Exit from fumikomi like in kagetsu and sit next to tou.
Tou walks to temaeza and makes koicha.
Sorei etc as usual for koicha.
(Note: kobukusa is not used in all Shichijishiki, even for non-raku).
After chawan sorei (tou does not drink) and first guest drinks, hanto stands and sits in tou position to make te-watashi easier.
Tou notes:
Still ask about fukukagen, still turn to kyakutsuki.
Kyaku will not ask about tea, sweets.
After hanto drinks, shokyaku asks for chawan haiken as usual. Hanto brings it, but then returns to their original spot on return.
Note: Hanto does not view chawan.
Sankyaku returns bowl, no deai.
Koicha chawan returns to temaeza, everyone sorei.
Hanto stands immediately, brings in kazarigashi to shokyaku. Meanwhile, tou adds oyu and kosusui. Tou places chawan to the rear to make room for natsume.
Tou and hanto stand simultaneously, tou to original seat and hanto to temaeza.
(They brush sleeves at the fumikomi-datami).
Hanto makes usucha for the tou.
Take natsume from tana, place in front of chawan. Kiyome, place to kensui no kata.
Bring chawan forward, add oyu (again), empty immediately, and wipe.
When hanto takes chashaku:
Shokyaku kansha’s kazarigashi tray, then passes down the line.
(Everyone does this. No osaki-ni, as no one is actually eating).
Tou does the same. When hanto nearly finishes whisking, tou turns the tray and brings it to shokyaku on the way to take the chawan.
Tou drinks usucha as usual. No “oshoban itashimasu”.
Otemae chodai?
On first tou sip, hanto does irekae.
Chashaku to mizusashi with R
Chaire to tana with R
Natsume to mizusashi shomen with L
Chashaku to natsume with R
Tou returns the chawan (no deai).
