１０月第２週のお稽古は流し点をしました。
このお点前は風炉点前なのですが、炉点前のようにお客様の方に斜めに向いてお点前をします。
これは少人数で亭主とお客様と和気あいあいとお話をしながらお茶を楽しむときにするお点前です。
水指を貴人畳の左前隅に据えるので、通常の風炉の位置から10目ほど貴人畳に近くなります。
それに伴い、お茶碗、棗などお道具を置く位置が変わります。
このお点前では亭主にお自服をお薦めするのがよいとおもいます。
In the second week of October, we practiced the Nagashi-date. This procedure is a furo (summer hearth) style, but like the ro (winter hearth) style, the host performs the tea ceremony facing diagonally towards the guests. This style is used when there is a small group, and the host and guests enjoy tea while conversing in a friendly and relaxed manner. The mizusashi (water container) is placed in the left-front corner of the kinin tatami mat, so the furo is positioned closer to the guests than in a typical furo setup. Along with this, the placement of the tea bowl, natsume (tea caddy), and other utensils changes. In this type of procedure, I think it is best for the guest to encourage the host to prepare and drink the tea themselves.
