長緒茶入
- According to CQ24, a 大海茶入 was used by Eisai when he got the “first” tea seeds to Japan
- The shape of the 平棗 is the shadow of this 茶入.
- If you put your pinky through the right eye, it becomes much easier. (You got to prevent it from turning, and then put it on the bottom).
- For 休み, start as usual, but make the top / left one shorter. Then put the bottom / right one through for about 1 cm, tighten, then put the rest from left and right through the new eye.
