Setup

Standard koicha setup.

Opening

Koicha as normal, but only bring in omogashi if you are doing okeiko.

Making Tea

Getting Ready

As koicha.

Preparation

As koicha.

Stopping

Finally, here we diverge from the standard koicha routine.

For cleaning, add hot water to the bowl as usual, but then place chawan a little higher than normal (the chaki has to fit there later) and instead of "oshimai itashimasu", say "tsutzuite usucha o sashiagemasu".

Take the kensui out and dump it. Bring in zabuton (bowing to the guests)*, pipe set (while holding it, sumi on right and holder on left) (no bowing to the main guest), and higashi (bowing to the main guest).

*Folded towards the teishu, with the wa on the bottom. Hand it to the guests to that they cat take it easily (hand on top and bottom?). First guest gets the first one, after that use sense.

(variation one) Return with kensui and chaki (closing door). Place kensui, chaki**.

(variation two) Return with kensui and sit/place kensui at same time. Take chaki from tana, rotate to diagonal and place it**.

**In space between knees and bowl. Probably touched three times(?).

Clean chaki and place it above line near the kensui with the left hand, replace fukuza.

Pick up bowl and roll (to loosen dried crap).

Add hot water, roll bowl and dump (clean).

Making Tea

Make usucha, but leave the dougu in their present positions.

After the bowl is taken by the first guest, perform the "exchange".

Exchange

Move the chashaku w/r to the right part of the mizusashi. Sometimes you will have to fold the fukuza and place it a little below the chasen, it will depend on the mizusashi--for example non-nuri or otherwise unusable.

Take the chaire w/l (from the side) and place it w/r (from the top) in front of you.

Take the chaki w/l and in one movement move it to the space left by the chaire.

Replace the chashaku.

Starting with r(lr--because the chaire is more important and needs to be treated better), put the chaire away (into tana, onto tana, where the chaki came from--depends on the tana).

Continue

Continue making usucha in the standard way. Chakin shibori after the second guest.

Stopping

As usucha.

Closing

First center to perpendicular displaced chaire (take with r), diagonal chashaku and goshifuku, center to perpendicular chaki last.

After chatting with guest, if putting chaki in tana, do so now. Otherwise, w/r in simple motion, take chaki and in a single motion that rotates it 180deg, put it behind and to the right of self, but not too close to the wall. Take everything out (all the way out, like mizuya out), return for the chaki, and bow out with it.

Pass chaki far towards door (?).

Some Text describing the starting position for tsutzuki usucha.
Open just like normal koicha
Jump ahead to the end of normal koicha temae when when everyone bows. Rinse the bowl once and place it further in front of you than you normally would, leaving room for the chaki later on. Then bow to the host and tell them that you will be preparing tsuzuki usucha. Take the kensui and exit the room. koicha
Bring in zabuton for the guests, then the tabaccobon, then the higashi. Return to the room with the kensui and place flush with your knee because you won't be moving it again. Take the chaki off of the tana and place it between you and the chawan.
Place the chaki in front of the kensui by cocking your wrist to the left and sliding it between you and the kensui. Rinse the chawan twice with warm water and place it in front of you as you normally would to make usucha.
Make the first bowl of usucha as normal. After the shokyaku has had their first sip move the chaire in front of your knees by picking it up with your left hand from the side and then taking it in your right from above and placing it in front. Then take the chaki in your left hand by cocking your wrist to fit between you and the kensui. Move the chaki next to the chasen in front of the [[tana] with your left hand while you quietly move your right hand to the left, keeping your kimoni sleeve from knocking over the chaire.
Take the chaire in your left hand from above. Transfer it to the right hand and then take it in the left hand and place it in front of the kensui. Keep it close to the kensui and slightly to the right to avoid being hit by the hishaku later on. Once the shokyaku has returned the chawan proceed to make tea normally until the shokyaku asks you to end. Close as with normal usucha temae being careful not to hit the chaire with the hishaku when you place it on top of the kensui. let the shokyaku ask you for haiken. Without moving the chawan Place the chaire in place as with normal koicha temae. Rotate back to center and place the chashaku and shifuku out.
Move the chawan to the left in front of the kama in karioki and clean and display the chaki as normal. Exit the room with the kensui. Return and exit the room with the chawan. Return with the mizusugiyakan and refill the mizusashi then leave the room.
Return for haiken and end as normal temae.
