茶箱月点前 chabako tsuki-demae

 ​
先週と今週は茶箱月点前。
日中は30度を超す暑さですが、朝晩は涼しくなってきて、めっきり秋らしくなってきました。
そこで、茶箱のお点前の中で最も優雅と言われている月点前のお稽古です。
箱の中からお道具を全部取り出すと、風炉の横に雲の下にまあるい香合のお月様が見えました!
掛物は実りの秋のブドウの絵。お菓子はクズ餡餅。
 

The second and third week of September we practiced Chabako-tsuki-demae.It is still hot over 30 degrees outside. Yet, the smell of cool autumn air is beginning to creep into the early mornings and nights. Chabako-tsuki-demse is one of the seasonal tea box series. Tsuki (moon) temae is often performed during the autumn since that is when the moon is most beautiful. Inside the tea boxes, you will find a round incense holder (moon) and white feather (cloud)  next to the Furo.Tsuki-demae also is considered  the most elegant and beautiful ritual among the Chabako series.This week, the picture on the scroll is grape and the sweet is Kuzu Mochi with sweet bean anko.
