79. 釣船はくさりの長さ床により、出船入船浮船としれ
tsuribune wa kusari no nagasa toko ni yori, de-bune iri-bune uki-bune to shire

Adjust its chain to evince an outgoing ship, incoming ship or ship at anchor

For chanoyu fresh from a
Flower-viewing foray
Avoid nature paintings
and flowers in your alcove display

With an honest temae, allow spontaneity to be the order of the day
