ホモテナシ

包帛紗(つつみ ぶくさ)

Means tied-up 帛紗. Using a for 濃茶, which is wrapped in a 帛紗. Usually, a plain black is used.

Lay out the fukusa with the double edge on the bottom left and place the natsume in the middle. Fold the bottom half up tightly, then pull the top half over that. Then, similar to the Otsu bukuro, it’s just a left over right tie, and then a right over left tie.

According to Burke, 包帛紗(つつみ ぶくさ)is not performed often per se, but used as a stepping-stone for 茶通箱(さつうばこ).

After 拝見, you pick up the 茶杓 first, then the from the top (as in 大津袋)!

When moving from opened 帛紗 to the 捌き, put your L index into the fold from below of the 帛紗, then turn it and keep your index in the fold. Like this, you have a neatly quartered 帛紗 to begin with.
