• [?] TODO Do you really expect the water to boil in time if you start with just cold mizu? In Ennosai book, he just says to use more sumi (?). ➕ 2023-04-29

If using a non-ceramic kogo for ro season, you should put a tsubaki leaf in to shield the interior from the neriko. Then during shozumi, you throw the leaf into the sumitori.

Kyaku Notes

Ro

Rochuu haiken:

  • Shokyaku goes to the ro (with osaki-ni) when teishu starts shobaki.
  • Tsume departs from the ro (with osaki-ni) when teishu finishes laying the tenzumi.

Kogo haiken:

  • Shokyaku asks douzo o-kogo no haiken after host places incense and closes the lid of the kogo.
  • Shokyaku retrieves the kogo once teishu stands with haiki.

Questions:

  • O-kogo wa?
    • Traditionally ceramic, could be non-ceramic under rare occasions.
  • O-ko wa?
    • Umegakka is a very common one that we often used at Gakuen. iirc Oiemoto-konomi.
    • Shoto by Shoeido as well.
