For all of these, the hibashi and hishaku move like little Pacman ghosts. They float just above the surface of the jiita and move along their path fully upright.
In both cases, you may start straightening out the object once you exit the plane of the ten-ita.
Gyo temae and below
(Including konarai)
glenn takes hibashi at 12’ and hishaku at 3’. Although we have both heard many other options, including 1:30, etc.
Hibashi both come out at the same time, and on the way out, they avoid the kensui by the left. (If the kensui isn’t there, you still follow the same motion as if it was there).
Hishaku comes out in one movement, then exits straight past the right of the kensui. Begin straightening out once the go crosses the plane of the ten-ita.
- [?] TODO I have a note here actually that you should come out the front center of the daisu, not the right of the kensui. Okeiko-Glenn-2022-11-27 ?? ➕ 2025-11-02
Shin temae
Hibashi come out the back (same as in gyo), and hishaku comes out the front. Keep in mind that shin temae would usually be using Karakane kaigu.
Hibashi come out betsu-betsu. Otherwise, nothing too different.
Hishaku comes out in a pull-pull motion.
- Take above the fushi, then pull up until the hishaku can lean against the shakutate.
- Finish pulling out by taking below the fushi. Come straight down, then Pacman ghost your way out.
Same thing happens at the end when returning the shakutate, but in reverse.
