A bamboo lid holder is a lid holder that is made by cutting bamboo into inverted bamboo and making small air vent holes in the joints.
The bamboo lid holder is used in the carrying tea ceremony or in the booth.
There are two different types of bamboo lid holders, one for the furnace and the other for the furo. It's a little above. Fukinuki can be used at any time.
Put a ladle on the bamboo lid holder on the water plate and pour water over it.
Wipe the water from the ladle with a cloth.
Wipe the top and sides of the lid with a cloth, and wipe the bottom with a rag.
Put the water into the kensui with the front side aligned.
The front of the bamboo lid holder is decided for each bamboo according to the scenery.
It is easier to decide if there is a flower stamp written on it, and that flower stamp is in front of you.
If there is no mark such as a flower stamp and you get lost, if the bamboo lid holder is elliptical when viewed from above, decide the front so that it becomes a horizontally long ellipse.
Many bamboo skins have no scenery, so it should be easier to decide by looking at the scenery of the knots.
I think that it is often difficult to decide even if you look at the clause, but you decide “here” in your own way and start the tea ceremony.
The types of bamboo lid holders are as follows.
Green bamboo
Old bamboo
Old bamboo (with flower closet)
Aodake lid holders (Hikigiri) are cut out and used for tea ceremonies, and are basically disposable.
There are three different types of bamboo lid holders, but in formal tea ceremonies, green bamboo or old bamboo lid holders with flower inserts are used.
A general old bamboo lid holder without a kao is basically not for use at a tea ceremony, but for practice.
As a further step forward, green bamboo lid holders are used for transportation instead of shelves during the new year.
Some people say that withered old bamboo is more suitable for the tea ceremony in October when the furo remains.
