- Different parts of scroll
- Honshi - main sheet, this is where the writing is done
- Ichimonji - above and below the honshi, one thin line of material.
- Chuumawashi - backing the honshi and ichimonji in the center is the chumawashi, also normally of some ornate fabric
- Ten and chi - heaven and earth, this is the backing above and below the chumawashi
- Futai - the two dangly ribbons that hang from the top of the scroll
- Tsuyu - the white bunches of string at the very ends of the futai
- Kake-o - the hanging cord used to hang on the kugi
- Maki-o - the long cord used to tie the scroll when it’s put away
- Jikusaki - the endcaps on the bottom of the scroll, fairly heavy and used to weigh the scroll down a bit
- Putting up jiku
- (note, the jiku kazari method is more teinei. This is still slightly tekitou. For teinei way, see jiku kazari method in white book)
- Unwrap the maki-o and push the maki-o to the GEZA side of the tokonoma (not just left). Unroll the scroll to just beyond the length of the futai when fully extended
- Open the futai
- Starting with the uppermost futai (which should be on the left side now), move it diagonally down, then straight up.
- Remaining futai, straight down.
- Top futai, straight down.
- Roll the scroll up to just hold the tips of the futai in place
- Hang on the kugi
- If you can reach it by hand, go for it. Otherwise use a jikukake (name? TODO)
- Gently unroll, your body tracking down the entire time along with the jiku.
- Taking down jiku
- You should really roll it all teinei, don’t do the “pick up the bottom and lift it to half, then roll”.
- Tying maki-o, first tie right, then left, then back right. Push under kakeo and pull through. You should form an X in the back with the maki-o.
- Center of the honshi should be level with the kakehanaire kugi
