Inform the host that everyone has arrived
Distribute the お白湯
Gather cups, leave 待合 and close door with a sound. This happens before or after the main guest will 「それでは」and
拝見 the 床.
Bow like everyone when host and first guests greet (here to exchange the candle).
Tidy up the 腰掛け待合.
At the つくばい, don't forget to close the lid of the hot water container. Take the candle from it, close door to the inner 路地; leaving the candle on the stepping stone (in front of the tea room)
Close the door of the 茶実 with a sound, inspect the scroll, then bring the candle to the 茶道口 (handle towards the door) before viewing the
釜.
Like everyone else, slide forward with your fan and thank the host for the invitation.
During 前茶, say 「おもあい」
Initiate shifting away with 「お先に」 from the 炉中の拝見 after the 点炭 is laid.
Return the
香合 to the main guest, take the candle to the 茶道口.
Keep the 盃台 on the L side (inside)
The rice is supposed to be completely finished here. Join rice container and lid. Lid waits either behind or in front of 盃台, but inside in any case. Once it's joined, put outside so that the host can take it when they bring your second soup.
After 煮物, the sake container stays with you. While the 焼物 container travels down, you need room, so put the sake container up, I guess.
Gather 飯器, container for grilled foods and sake vessel. If the main guest asks to
拝見 the 焼物, put chopsticks on your tray, clean it, and bring it up. Also, after eating the main soup, clean the bowls.
Bring 飯器, 焼物 bowl and sake container to the door; the 盃台 to the first guest.
During 八寸, pour sake twice for the host, then turn the sake pitcher, so the host can take it
Put 湯斗 in front of 茶道口. For this, put the spoon (and chopsticks, if necessary), into the spout, and place the handle so that it's to the host's left. The chopsticks, if the pickles are served on the lid, touch the body parts.
Leave
縁高 in 茶道口, and close the entrance with a sound
Tidy up 待合. Leave candle on the rock in front of the tea room, close the door with a sound. Inside, lock the door.
In
濃茶, separate
古帛紗 from
茶碗, placing it to the L of the bowl.
Give 濃茶碗 with candle to first guest for
拝見 (from R to L: 茶碗・古帛紗・candle), and for returning.
🧨 Normally, you bring the candle to the door; but here it is returned to the host!
