-   * Winter solstice is on the 21 / 23 XII, so astrologically, it is already spring and the days get longer. Yet, the great cold, 大寒（だいかん）, usually around the 22 I, is still ahead. +   * [[dango|まゆ団子]] on the 14.1. 
-   * On New Year's Day, 井華水（せいか　すい）or 若水（わか　みず）, which is water drawn between 0200 and 0400 (the time of the 虎) and is considered especially pure, is drawn. This then is used to make 大福茶（おおぶくちゃ）, which has symbolism that ties it to happiness and long life and is a mix of 煎茶（せんちゃ）, 昆布（こんぶ） and dried plum. 小山園 and 上林 also have 抹茶 with that name.+   * Winter solstice is on the 21 / 23 XII, so astrologically, it is already spring and the days get longer.

ML explained that the Chinese collect the snow from the pines for this, feeling particularly poetic while doing so.    * If there's fresh snow, boil it in the kettle.

-   * Often you see 真台子 this time of the year. I prefer to do the 台子 点前 in summer, when the cool movements seem more fitting for me, so I prefer the 紹鴎棚. In either case, you can decorate the 台子 with the papers like in [[meisui|名水]]!+   * Often you see 真台子 this time of the year. I prefer to do the 台子 点前 in summer, when the cool movements seem more fitting for me, so I prefer the [[jouou|紹鴎棚]]. In either case, you can decorate the 台子 with the papers like in [[meisui|名水]]! (Maybe red and white ribbons are particularly suitable?) 
 +     * Apart from that, the 誰が袖棚 is not a bad idea, through the association of 着物袖 and 梅 scent.
  
-   * Good symbols are 松 (for long life, such as 老松, 唐松),  +   * Good symbols are  
-   * 曙 棗 (the red one 淡々斎 liked) +         * 松 (for long life, such as 老松, 唐松) 
-   * 誰が袖棚, which is described in 裏千家茶道 6. Fujiyo mentioned that it is used in January, and it's named for the plum blossoms, harkening back to a poem 色　よりも　香　こそ　あわれ　と　思ほゆれ　誰が袖　ふれし　宿　の　梅　ぞも (Plum blossoms are beautiful, but the best part is the smell. Oh, what smell! Is it our plum blossoms or did somebody walk through our garden and their sleeve touched our plum tree and leave a good scent?) +         * 曙 (like the 淡々斎好み red 棗) 
-   * Fujiyo said: January, new year’s decorations…utensils for shinto ritual, kagura shinto musical dance.. +         * Willows tied into a circle 
-Tied in circle with long willow branches  +         * 島台, red and white, the Seven Gods of Fortune, who live on {{ruby|蓬莱|ほらい}} mountain, and come with a {{ruby|宝船|たからぶね}}, a treasure ship.  
-島台、手桶水 (teoke) decorated with しめ縄 sacred rice straw ropes.. +         * {{ruby|寒月|かんげつ}}, the cold, indifferent moon that drains warmth of all. 
-relatively big kettle with happy inspiration such as its name is 万歳, or the surface is decorated with 松竹梅 patterns. +   * {{ruby|初草|はつ　くさ}} is a 名物 茶入 that is completely plain brown. It reminds us of the brown grass in the melting snow, that bears the promise of rebirth. See [[wabi|侘び]]. KM said (I 24) it would be better to use {{ruby|雪間草|ゆき　ま　くさ}} as 御銘, though. I did an entire [[restricted:record|茶事]] with that theme! 
-Lid rest such as plum blossoms patterns or shape of 突羽根 (it's a flower petal, tsukubane, it’s shuttlecock for traditional battledore) +   * In the same vein, one student used  {{ruby|早蕨|さわらび}} in I 24, which is some rolled up, edible fern that represents spring. 
-Flashy? January +   * {{ruby|雲海|うんかい}} for a 茶碗, with the clouds that bring rain and thus life, and the sea that brings forth all. Because the bowl is something that carries the present of the tea, it is quite suitable.
  
 +   * Most of it is from [[http://www.teeweg.de/de/kisetsu/gomei1.html#top|Ulrich]] 
  
 +➡️ I guess anything with 初 is fine. KM suggested I use 初笑い, for example.

-   * 干菓子 could be //Wakamatsu// (young pine) sweets. Young pine trees symbolize the hopes for the new year. For these sweets, the impression of a pine branch is stamped on soft rice crackers, which are then stacked, with miso placed between each layer. LowER LEFT: No-shimusubi (gift knot) sweets. At New Year's, gifts of money are often wrapped in strips of paper. 
-These sweets, similar to ribbon candy served in the West, are made of strips of sugar cake that have been dyed red and white, the traditional congratulatory colors in Japan, and tied in knots before they harden.
