This is an old revision of the document!
Made by
利休's wife, mimicking rice bags. Fabio said that you can use other patterned silks than just the purple one; and that it is something that the host can do.
茶杓 position and lid position when scooping depends on the 茶器, but for
拝見, you treat it like a
茶入.
If you do it with a
長板 or a
台子 and need to handle the 大津袋 with L:
After sorting the
棗, fold in the top with R, then hold sideways with R so that the fabric rests on your fingers. From here, you can scissor it with your L.
id. when picking it up for
拝見: Scissor with L, rehold with R and put on your L.
The books say to scoop 3 times then dump all at once, but KM, HY and also CJ prefer to dump the tea in two goes (akin to
和巾): First, insert
茶杓 to make a blockade, then remove it to unleash the first load. Then insert again and scoop and dump the rest.
