Procedure for midsummer, using a 平茶碗 or 馬盥, filled with //ample// water at the beginning, which is emptied into the 建水 to create a refreshing sound. Similarly to [[shibori|筒茶椀]], involves folding the 茶巾 in front of the guests.

<WRAP info>
   * You handle the 茶碗 with two hands as long as it's loaded with the water. However, it should be handled much more naturally than during [[kinin|貴人]].
   * Before you move the 茶碗 closer to you, you need to open the 釜 lid. This is fun, because you just take the 柄杓 as if you'd take water, but then just place it on the 釜.
   * When wringing out the 茶巾, use your fingertips only (as to not get your hands too wet).

====道具====
   * Usually done with 棚, to avoid having to bring in the 棗 with the 建水

➡️ Practised it without 棚 with Miya in VII 24, using the candle: The 棗 is always more important than the 茶碗, that's why usually it is brought in with the right hand. Now, since the 茶碗 is handled with two hands here, the 棗 is brought in with the 建水 //out of convenience//. But, if we're bringing in a candle with the 建水, it makes sense to bring in the 棗 //before// the 茶碗, because it is more important. In that case, place it directly in front of the 水指, or, akin to [[restricted::daitenmoku|台天目]], already a bit to the right.

   * Use a 建水 that can make a sound, maybe I could even try a Klangschale (since this is somewhat the whole point of this 点前). Perfectly fine to use a metal 建水 (Miya 24).
   * To use a crab 蓋置 could be cute, especially if I'm using my 平 茶碗 that looks like the Wadden Sea.
   * Try emptying the 茶碗 before the 点前; with some, the water sticks to the side when you pour out the water slowly!

====点前====
   * **Focal Points**: slow down a lot when placing the 柄杓 on the 釜 the first time, because afterwards follows the water games, and they are the heart of this 点前: 
         * the emptying of the 茶碗; 
         * the scooping of the tea,
         * the last 水
   * I would try to make little sound for other actions, such as 茶筅通, to give emphasis to the water.

   * **Prelude** (keep tension when leaving the room)
      * Sit in door and pick up 茶碗 with both hands
         * If 棚, place with both hands to the left; get 棗 with R, and get 茶碗 with a slight reholding (without stopping the motion). I presume this putting down the 茶碗 needs to be with lots of gravitas, so that the leaving of the room is hardly noticed.
         * Otherwise bring 棗 when carrying 建水
      * Unpack 建水, freshen up, breathe.
   
   * **Unpacking** (slowing down for drama)
      * Get 茶碗 with both hands, move 棗, purify it; get 茶杓 and purify it, unpack 茶筅 (**bowl stays where it is for now!**)
      * Get 柄杓, open lid and //slowly move down// (because now comes the main part of the 点前!)

   * **茶巾** (first climax in two parts)
      * Get bowl, get 茶巾, press lightly over 茶碗; fold and wring out over 建水. Normally, you'd use your whole hand for such work, but because the 茶巾 is so wet here, just use your fingertips.
      * Fold 茶巾, and place on 釜葢 (going under the 柄杓).
      * Empty 茶碗 with both hands, and put down with **one hand** (Maybe even pause after it?)
      * //Now that the 茶碗 has been empty, it is handled like a normal 茶碗!//

   * **湯** (make feel cool and fast)
       * Hot water, then 茶筅通 (hold from the side!), dump water **with one hand** (contrasting how you dumped the cold water before!)
       * Dry, place down with one hand

   * **茶** (new movement: slower)
       * scoop tea (slow, no sound)
       * open 水指 (all the way in your centre lest you drop it on the 茶碗) (fast)
       * make tea (holding from above) (slow)
       * serve tea (again, with one hand) (a bit faster, so it feels cooler?)

   * **Tidying up** (if necessary, but I think the 帛紗 should be avoided to not draw attention to the hot water)

   * **Next Round?** (fast)

   * **Closing** (slow on the 水)
       * get cold water (slow)
       * 茶筅通 (faster), 茶巾, 茶筅.
       * 茶杓 (slower)
       * 中仕舞い: If possible, you must close 中仕舞い (for all 点前). But here it makes sense, because you want to feel like you are in a cool big room (move 茶碗 with R), then ポンポン (quiet) (pause), enjoy the last folding.
       * 水 (very slow) 
       * Close 水指葢, 拝見; decorate 棚 with 柄杓 and 蓋置 (fast)

   * **拝見**
       * Get 棗 to 45° and clean (go slow only on the placing of the 棗)
       * 茶杓
       * Move to -15° to get 建水, come in again to get 茶碗 (with one hand, like a normal one).
       * 水次
       * Return to talk about the 道具
   

====Notes====

   * When I practised this on 16 VIII 18 with CJ and on 11 VII 19, we used sweets served on a tray looking like a fan, and used a large 水指. The big 水指 made it all a bit tight to handle. I like it visually, though!
