 +===Background===
  
-> Tea is made in a new tea bowl that is set on an unlacquered wooden stand called 貴人台. Sweets are served on a pedestalled tray called [[takatsuki|高杯]] (with かいし paper folded noticeably), and when the tea is ready, the assistant for the host brings the bowl to the personage. When there are two 貴人 as guests, the assistant serves the first bowl to the first 貴人, then brings a second bowl from the preparation room. After the host makes tea in the second bowl, the assistant brings it to the second 貴人. It is a rule to serve tea in an independent bowl in both the case of 濃茶 and 薄茶.+> Tea is made in a new tea bowl that is set on an unlacquered wooden stand called 貴人台.

 It is the first of the 小習, and while it is against the spirit of 侘び茶, it is useful to learn //the importance of consideration for the guest// (CQ57). My interpretation is to learn deference by contrast (貴人 🆚 normal person), and then carry that same deference towards everyone. It is the first of the 小習, and while it is against the spirit of 侘び茶, it is useful to learn //the importance of consideration for the guest// (CQ57).

-   * 茶杓 goes out on the 帛紗 for 拝見 (the 貴人 then separates it, returning them split).+   * When bringing sweets, bow //twice//: Once to give the sweets to the 貴人, then once at the door.
 </WRAP> </WRAP>
  
-   * Maybe using the black 利休棗 isn't particularly suitable for this 点前. +   * <del>I think 無事 is a good 御名, since it references「無事是黄人」.</del> (In 2026, I think that's a bit obvious; now I prefer {{ruby|不染|ふぜん}}). 
-   * 半東 brings everything to host, bowing every time+   * If there are multiple 貴人, they get their sweets individually, and each of them gets their own bowl of 濃茶. 
 +   * 半東: After the 総礼 with the 柄杓, open door, bow, enter, close the door and sit in the 下座. When the host gets up with the 建水, you get up and bring the 道具 to the 貴人. After that, wait in the waiting 畳 until the host has left with the 水指 or 水次 //and the 貴人 have finished their 拝見//. After bringing the 道具 back, you leave, opening, bowing and closing the door. Then the host opens the door anew (KM26; I'd have left the door open).
  
 +=====貴人清次濃茶=====
 +<WRAP info>
 +   * Do 貴人濃茶 as you always would. //After// 「服加減」, you come in with the 共茶碗 and 建水.
 +   * 千鳥茶巾 stays in its spot (unlike 薄茶).
 +   * The 詰 returns all the 道具 that are entrusted to the 貴人, and the non-貴人 初客 returns the 共茶碗.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +   * Everything is normal: Since you have the 清次, you don't need a はんと. Bow at the door (because it's 貴人), then prepare 濃茶, but only scoop the tea (like in 重茶碗).
 +   * When you serve the tea, you scoot back. The first "normal" guest will get the 茶碗 for the 貴人, who will place it L inside. //Everyone 総礼 here//. Then 台 to the R inside, and 茶碗 into the hands.
 +   *  until the 貴人 has taken their first sip. Then (from the back) you inquire about the かげん. When the 貴人 is content, you go on to make the 2<sup>nd</sup> 濃茶. (In 薄茶, here you'd say 「お共の方にもさしあげます」). Scoot forward, then turn towards the 建水 and leave with it. Meanwhile, the guests will ask to 拝見 the 貴人茶碗, and the //last guest// will return it.
 +   * Open door, come in with 共茶碗 and 建水.
 +
 +➡️ This 建水 can either be the same as before, or it can be a different one. As for the 共茶碗, it can be 楽 or something else. Since the 貴人茶碗 is new, it stands above the 一楽二萩三唐津.
 +
 +   * The 千鳥茶巾 goes to the back of the 釜 lid, and //stays// there (unlike 薄茶, where you might need it still).
 +   * Second 茶筅通し is raised only once, and then when finishing it's just サラサラ・コツン・の字.
 +   * For the 共茶碗, it's お先に amongst the normal folk (just like in 重ね茶碗). No need to include the 貴人, they've had their tea.
 +   * When the 貴人茶碗 returns, everyone bows, and you say 「お仕舞い」once (unlike 薄茶, where the normal folk might want to continue to drink tea).
 +   * Because the 茶杓 is also used for normal people, no need to put it on the 仕覆 here.
 +
 +
 +=====貴人薄茶=====
 +<WRAP info>
 +   * If you use the 帛紗 to open the 釜, you take it with L after the 貴人 has drunk their tea.
 +   * 茶杓 goes out on the 帛紗 for 拝見 (the 貴人 then separates it, returning them split).

-   * The rest below is from CQ57. +   * When 柄杓 is put on 蓋置, 半東 opens the door, bows, slides in, turns by 180°, closes the door in winter, pivots again, directed at the 貴人, and places the hands on the floor. (Make sure to keep wrists straight here.)

 +
 +➡️ Theoretically, after お仕舞い, it would be the good moment for the 半東 to pick up the 干菓子. However, KM26 thinks, this creates a lot of movement in the room, so you could pick them up after delivering the 道具 for 拝見. Then you keep them by your side on the waiting 畳 (KM26, I think I would have brought them outside and then come back in to wait).

    * Clean, and after closing 水指 lid, guest will ask to see the 道具; bow.    * Clean, and after closing 水指 lid, guest will ask to see the 道具; bow.
    * After cleaning 棗 for 拝見, take 帛紗 on L, shift towards 棚, pick up 茶杓 and put it on 帛紗, securing it with the thumb. Place down, turn again to face 棚. 半東 places 道具 in front of 貴人, shifts back and bows, then sits in the 畳 beside the ふみこみ畳 so the host can exit.    * After cleaning 棗 for 拝見, take 帛紗 on L, shift towards 棚, pick up 茶杓 and put it on 帛紗, securing it with the thumb.

 This is a 点前 for serving a nobleman and his attendants. The point is to make a distinction between the nobleman and his attendants, so a separate tea bowl, whisk, 茶巾, sweet container, smoking set etc. are used. This is a 点前 for serving a nobleman and his attendants.

-   * Still unsure as to how the sweets are brought to the guest, and when to bow. For me, it makes most sense if door is opened by 半東, bows, sweets are carried and placed in front of guest (with a lot of distance); then goes back to 茶道口, and bows.+
