This is an old revision of the document!
- 御名 - 和菓子 - 懐石 - suitable 道具 and 軸 - Ullrich translated the almanac it seems, and added sketches (link)
General
- anticipation for autumn: on 8 VIII, the season changes to 立秋.
- 花火. In Switzerland, these are not really traditional; the bon fires on the mountains are much more authentic.
- circadas (in Japan), so lots of bugs on 道具.
茶の湯
- Ashes for 炉 are prepared: washed with 番茶, then laid out in the sun and repeated; then kept in a ceramic jar (or a 酒 barrel).
- 洗茶巾, and big 水指, as well as buckets.
- Burkus tells the story that 利休 liked to use a swallow 香合, which he placed on a bucket 水指, mirroring this idea that the swallow would normally sit there.
- Using a small 釜 that boils quickly and requires a smaller fire makes sense; or also a closed 風炉 where you can't see the fire.
花
- Baskets are still a good idea
