-   * MR25: Actually, 炭 should be practised a lot, because during the 茶事, it should happen very casually, matter of fact, without giving lots of importance. The 手前 should take less than 10'!

    * Written with 手前 here rather than 点前, because 点てる is the word you use for making tea.

+   * How to lay the charcoal in a [[kirisumi|切合]]!
+   * How to use the [[kan|蜻蛉鐶]]!
+====Generally====
+   * Preparation of 炭斗: Both in 風炉 and 炉, the coals are in the basket with the broader side, the side closer to the trunk of the tree, on the bottom.
+   * 手前:
+      * When there's actual dirt when cleaning with the feather, clean the dirt first, then perform the ritual cleaning.
+      * Always: after お香, 釜 moves (even in 盆香合, where it just moves by 90°)
+   * Feathers:
+          * Touch it only between the two strings.
+          * When purifying, don't worry about the tempo or making it look interesting. Just focus on //purifying// well for the sake of the guest.
+          * The feathers have a softer side and a harder side. In 風炉, you want the soft side on the R, in 炉 you want the hard side on R (because here you might need to do some more heavy duty cleaning).
+          * In 炉, KM25 keeps her L on the floor for all strokes. CJ, however, only used her L for the far strokes. This seems also what the new books are doing.
+   * 箸: KM26 told a nice anectode. If you hold the chopsticks close to the front end, it means you'll marry close to home (and vice versa).
+   * 鐶: 3 lines away from the rim
 ====茶事====
-   * Ablauf:
+   * Sequence:
-         * When guests first arrive, there are only 3 下火 in either 風炉 or 炉．Except in 跡見茶事（あとみ）, where the guests arrive after the main 茶事. **Will there be a second 後炭 then?**
+         * When guests first arrive, there are only 3 下火 in either 風炉 or 炉 (except in {{ruby|跡見|あとみ}}茶事). In 炉, you'd put 3 練香 underneath those 下火 (KM26).
          * In 炉, first comes 初炭 and then 懐石
-         * In 風炉, it's first 懐石 and then 初炭 (and then sweets, 中立, 濃茶). 後炭 is usually omitted, but if it is done, it follows now, and then 煙草盆・干菓子・ 薄茶 (CQ44).
+         * In 風炉, it's first 懐石 and then 初炭 (and then お菓子).
    * There is a difference for 初炭 if it's for 稽古 or for 茶事:
-         * In 稽古, you purify and open the lid before leaving the room;
+         * In 稽古, you purify and open the lid before leaving the room with the 灰器;
-         * In 茶事, leave the room for 拝見, do 座箒, and when coming back, you purify the 風炉 with your 帛紗 and then open the lid.
-   * Preparation of 炭斗: Both in 風炉 and 炉, the coals are in the basket with the broader side, the side closer to the trunk of the tree, on the bottom.
-   * 手前
-      * When there's actual dirt when cleaning with the feather, clean the dirt first, then perform the ritual cleaning.
-      * Always: after 香, 釜 moves (even in 盆香合, where it just moves by 90°)
-====初炭 (both 風炉 and 炉)====
+🅰️ The ア doesn't swoop the knob: You gather the dust around the lid, and then swoop it into the L corner (KM25)
-   * お炭をさせていただきます
-   * 羽、かん、火箸、香合 for both 風炉 and 炉
-         * Unless, of course, you're doing [[nagaita|長板]], where the 火箸 are in the 灼立て.
-   * close lid (with or without 帛紗), 鐶 on 釜, 紙釜敷, slide forward, move 釜 (also for both)
-   * **Handling of the 紙釜敷**
+         * In 茶事, leave the room for 拝見, do 座箒, and when coming back, you purify the 風炉 or 炉縁 with your 帛紗, purify the lid and //then// open it.
-     * When packing the 紙釜敷 there are several ways to remember it:
+         * 座箒: Sit on your heels, hold your L knee. It's always 3 strokes: top R to bottom L, bottom R to bottom L, top L to bottom L. In 炉, the 2<sup>nd</sup> stroke of the 2<sup>nd</sup> set is bigger, also taking in the area where the 炭斗 lived. At the door, you might have to switch hands depending on the layout of the room (to also purify where the handle of the feather was). Finally, 3 strokes perpendicular to yourself over the threshold, close the door. Open a little window for this purpose, audibly brush the dust out there, then knock the handle of the feather two times against your L to get the dust out of it (again, do it so the guests can hear).
+         * 炉縁: Draw 口, with your thumb pointing towards the 釜 on the 2<sup>nd</sup> part of the 2<sup>nd</sup> stroke. Then draw こ on the lid before opening it with the 帛紗 (⁉️ or without if it wasn't used to open it before)?
+====初炭 (both 風炉 and 炉)====
+   * **紙釜敷**. When packing the 紙釜敷 there are several ways to remember it:
            * In winter, it's cold and you need to wear many layers, so the side of the 釜敷 where you can see the paper layers points to the R. In summer, it's the other way around.
            * HY23: The わさ points towards the 釜 when it's still on the fire, and the broken side points into the direction where it will go at first
            * UH17: put the open side in the 着物 so that it faces in the direction in which you will move the 釜 when putting it back on the fire. That means, for example, that in [[nakaoki|中置]] it'll have the same direction and facing as in 炉.
            * When collecting the 紙釜敷 after 釜 was on it, the warm side is farther away from the body in the 着物 (UH17)
-     * If the 釜 doesn't move while on the paper, go down with the かん on the side that needs help, and push the paper with three fingers, still holding the かん (みねこ on 21 VIII 19)
+          * If the 釜 doesn't move while on the paper, go down with the かん on the side that needs help, and push the paper with three fingers, still holding the かん (みねこ on 21 VIII 19)
+          * KM25: Make the ポック not too obvious, and it can be twice!
+   * 棚: 羽 lies with its border on the diagonal of the 棚, the 香合 in front.
+   * 「お炭をなおさせていただきます」
+   * In 運, it's: 羽、かん、火箸、香合 for both 風炉 and 炉
+         * Unless, of course, you're doing [[nagaita|長板]], where the 火箸 are in the 杓立
+         * With 棚, it's just 羽・香合, taking the 鐶 only when needed.
+   * close lid (with or without 帛紗), 鐶 on 釜, 紙釜敷, slide forward, move 釜 (also for both)
+    * 拝見:
+          * Guest pick up the 香合 once the 灰器 is out, and start with the 拝見 once 炭斗 is gone.
+          * This is quite the same for 建水 in 点前.
 ===初炭　風炉===
 ⚠️ There are 2 positions for the 釜, middle of 畳 or left of it. For 運, it's the latter, otherwise the former. This informs the 香合 position for 拝見.
-⚠️ It's 羽　鐶　火箸　香合 if there's no 棚. With 棚, it's just 羽 香合, taking the 鐶 only when needed.
+  * The フジ灰 should be a little mount; to make the spoon sit better, compress the lower part of it, then add some more on top to make it look natural.
+   * When placing 胴炭, use two hands (so that they meet at the coal), retreat L as soon as the 胴炭 is in position.
-{{ ::sumi_prep.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
+===初炭　炉===
-   * **greeting**: 炭斗（すみとり）by the side, bow, “お炭を　あけさせて　いただきます”
-   * bring in 炭斗. Put it in front of 棚 or 水差し on 長板; or next to the 風呂 when doing 運ぶ.
-   * bring in 灰器（はいき）. Notice how it is held, up to 26 IX 19 we were holding it differently; but like this is more natural.
-{{ :haiki.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * unpacking:
-{{ :unpack.jpg?direct&200 | }}
-{{ :unpackee.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * close lid (with or without 帛紗（ふくさ）), 鐶（かん）on 釜, 紙釜敷（かみかましき）, move 釜.
-         * Remember the three fingers if it won't slide on the 紙釜敷（かみかましき）
-    * first feather
-{{ :firstclean_-_1.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * replace 下炭（したすみ）, lay coals. When placing 胴炭（どうずみ）, use two hands (so that they meet at the coal), retreat L as soon as the 胴炭 is in position.
-{{ :charcoalorder.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * second feather
-{{ :secondclean.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * moon
-{{  :makemoon.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * third feather
-{{ :thirdclean.jpg?direct&200 |  }}
-   * 香, prepare 香合（こうごう）for 拝見（はいけん）
-   * return 釜, pat 紙釜敷（かみかましき）, and slide backwards
-   * clean lid (ア)
-   * 建水まわり and leave with 灰器（はいき）
-   * take out 炭斗 |||
-====初炭　炉====
    * Preparation same as in 風炉, but adding a halved long one and a chubby one on the left side.
-{{ ::sumiroprep.jpeg?direct&400 |}}
+➡️ I struggle with taking the 火箸 easily. Pinch then together at their thickest part, lift up slightly, and immediately take with ring and little finger (KM25).
-   * 炭斗 in door,  「炭を　させて　いただきます」, bow and let's go!
+====盆香合====
-   * Leaving door open, carry in 炭斗: One step into 点前畳（たたみ）, then left and right to the wall so you can place 炭斗 next to the 釜. Then bring the ash container, close the door. 3 steps into 点前畳, then 4th and 5th go into the corner where normally the ふたおき sits. Put down container, then turn towards 釜.
+   * Carry in 香合 on a tray (basically a 香合 飾り)
-   * 羽、かん、火箸、香合 (Both かん and 香合 sit next to each other behind 炭斗.) (Order changes if it's with [[tana|棚]] and the 羽 and 香合 are on it!)
+   * It's a bit of an odd 手前, since it's used both for {{ruby|御由緒|ごゆいしょ}} and ご伝来
-   * Close lid (without 帛紗), put on かん, take out 釜式（かましき）, move closer (right, left), take out 釜, turn towards it, slide it to 90° position. かん behind 釜. (With a 棚, move it to the left of the 棚 at -45°)
+   * This is the only 炭点前 where the incense is taken with the hands (presumably as not to scratch the 香合), for all the others, we use the 火箸.
-   * Cleaning the 炉口: three swipes right side, third swipe leads over to guest side, down to right side, then 3 swipes with back of the 羽 on the host's side. Then inside: guests' side left to right, right side; then left side towards host and host's side. 羽 diagonally behind 炭斗.
-   * Move starter coal, place 火箸 into 炭斗.
-   * Place 炭斗 out of the way for ash container. Turn 45° towards it, pick it up, turn back and put down with two hands. 12 to 9, 9 to 6, 12 to 3, then take ash, put down the spoon, hold like 柄杓（ひしゃく）, and put ash 3 to 6 holding your hand like karate koken. Put down scoop, rehold, scoop new ash and pour from 6 to 3. Tidy up ash, pick up container, turn and put it down.
-{{ ::wetash.png?direct&400 |}}
-   * Clean with 羽 as before, plus clean the tripod: Farthest away, then closer to you with back of feather, then right one with front side again. Take 炭斗 closer.
-   * Take 火箸, then take fat coal with bare hands; add little coals, then long ones, then 枝炭, then little one.
-   * Clean, 香 (lid goes where the 鐶 where), put back 釜 and ポック and 鐶. Move back, then ア with 羽 and open lid.
-====炭 棚 in general====
-   * 羽 lies with its border on the diagonal of the 棚, the 香合 in front.
-====初炭　風呂　棚====
-   * Place 炭斗 in front of 棚 (feather and 香合 are on 棚)
-   * Take out 羽, place it diagonally in front of 炭斗 so its middle is aligned with middle of 棚
-   * Are the 火箸 and 感（かん）left in the 炭斗?
-   * Then 香合, as usual
-====初炭　盆香合====
-   * Carry in 香合 on a tray (basically a 香合 飾り )
-   * This is the only 炭点前 where the incense is taken with the hands (presumably as not to scratch the 香合), for all the others, we use the 火箸（火ばし）.
 ====後炭====
   * Done at long tea gatherings like the after-noon meetings; after 濃茶
   * Omitted for after-meal, morning or late-evening meetings; not common in summer.
+  * The 組み釜敷き needs to glide well over the 畳 . It was Jōō who first used it.
+  * Prepare a little bowl of water to make the 茶巾 very wet when getting the 水次.
-   * **Preparation**
-       * Make sure the pieces of charcoal have enough space on the sides so that they can be moved to stand.
-       * The 組み釜敷き（くみかましき）needs to glide well over the 畳 . It was Jōō who first used it.
-       * C prepares a little bowl of water to make the 茶巾 very wet when getting the 水次（みずつぎ）, I would just dip it into the 水次 directly.
+==後炭　風炉==
-==後炭　風呂==
+   * After sliding the 釜, the guests 「お風炉中の拝見を」, host moves to diagonal side to pick up 灰器.
-       * The ふじばい should be a little mount; to make the spoon sit better, compress the lower part of it, then add some more on top to make it look natural.
-{{gallery>:furogozumi}}
-   * Bow with 炭斗. 「火を　なおさせて　いただきます」(I'll fix the fire.) Walk straight until you reach 点前畳, then in front of spot where 炭斗 comes to stand. Leave door open, since it is 風呂.
-   * Come in again with 灰器（はいき）, sit diagonally and put it down. Shift in front of 釜.
-   * Feather, 香合, 釜 lid (bare hands), 鐶（かん）、組み釜敷き（くみかましき）(R to L, L turns towards 炭斗, R puts down in front of 炭斗). Slide forward, take 釜, lean 鐶, shift to 45°, move 釜 to the middle of 道具畳 at 90°. 鐶 next to it. Shift back to 風呂.
-   * First brushing (4 strokes), feather diagonally.
-         * When picking up the feather and setting it, treat it as if it was very heavy!
-   * Take 火箸, then tidy up old coals. Ullrich took them all apart, and then make a new tipi. Also, break the 胴炭（どうずみ） in the front in two, to make space for the 輪胴（わどう）. Take 輪胴 with two hands (**I always find this annoying, I'd rather do it with one hand; but possibly it's showy.**), then round one, halfed one above.
-         * Take 枝炭（えだずみ）from the front, and place two of them on the long one. Then take all three, and place them at 2 o'clock.
-         * C taught this differently, she had me first place the long one, then put down the 枝炭 in the 炭斗 where the long one was, retake them and put them down in the 風呂.
-         * Then, the little one at 5 o'clock.
-   * Second brushing (3 strokes), unless it's made from iron.
-   * Pick up 灰器（はいき）, make sure to use your body! Pick up 灰匙（はいさじ） with R at end of handle, L in front of R, then R in the middle. Stabilise hand with L, press down ash, then take out a small half-moon and put into 風呂. Put all back
-   * Third feather (6 strokes), then feather goes back onto 炭斗, incense on 輪胴（わどう）and into the hot ash. 香合 lid in the middle of the 畳.
-   * Shift to 45°, get 釜 and shift to 45°, remove 鐶 and put them to the right of the 釜.
-   * Guest 「お風呂ちゅの拝見を」, host moves to diagonal side to pick up 灰器.
    * Sit in door with 水次 in front until 拝見 is finished.
-   * Place 水次 facing 釜, 茶巾 on 釜 lid, refill water, then wet lid in two strokes (fron and back), then front with 2 straight strokes, and back with mirrored つ.
+   * Place 水次 facing 釜, 茶巾 on 釜 lid, refill water, then wet lid in two strokes (front and back), then front with 2 straight strokes, and back with mirrored つ.
-         * If using 片口（かたくち）, take lid with both hands, turn towards 釜, and put down with both hands inverted instead of the 蓋置き.
-         * After wetting, 茶巾 goes back onto the inverted lid, and the lid is put inverted onto the 水次.
-   * Come back, sit in front of 風呂, and put 釜 back. Take 組み釜敷き with R, turn towards 釜, and put back. Adjust 釜, then put 鐶 away, with the open side on top. Slide back, open lid.
-   * Take 炭斗, leave and bow.
-==後炭　呂==
-   * Described in CQ58
+==後炭　炉==
    * **Preparation** same as for 初炭, but:
-         * 3 えだずみ instead of 5, and they are placed //inverted// at the front right
+         * 3 枝炭 instead of 5, and they are placed //inverted// at the front right
-         * わど炭 replaces どずみ
+         * わど炭 replaces どうずみ
          * かん open end down against わど
          * woven くみ釜式
-         * incense on はひさい
+         * incense on 灰匙
-{{gallery>:rogozumi}}
+====炭所望====
+   * In 風炉, you don't move the 下火, because there's no wet ash. So the guest will lay all the charcoal in one go in 風炉.
-==炭所望==
+   * In 風炉, walk straight up in the middle with the 炭斗, then unpack everything remove the 釜. Do the first feather, but put it //back on the// 炭斗. That's it. Leave to get the 灰器 and leave it in front of the 点前座 together with the 帛紗.
-   * おもおしあわせの上、お炭をどうぞ
+         * 「おもおしあわせの上、お炭をどうぞ」(//discuss who'll lay the coal//). Guest will get up, tuck in the 帛紗, move the 下火, lay the coal, cut the 灰型. Then they put everything back (turning with the 灰器, according to HY26).
-   * おなおしの上、お香をどうぞ
+   * Guest: おなおしの上、お香をどうぞ. Put the coal directly, receive 拝見 request. Leave with 灰器, come back, move 釜, then receive 「お風炉中の拝見」from the first guest //who didn't lay the charcoal//.
-   * 拝見 starts after 炭斗 has left (this is a difference to 盆香合, where you start the 拝見 after the cleaning of the 釜)
+   * 拝見 of 香合 starts after 炭斗 has left (this is a difference to 盆香合, where you start the 拝見 after the cleaning of the 釜, with a special atmosphere elevating the 拝見).
-   * When we did it with Miya 23, we left the 灰器 in the room for the 所望.
 ====Types====
    * Enshuu-ryuu uses pine, bamboo and plum for edazumi!
