Poem
小板にて濃茶を立てば茶巾をば小板の端に置く物ぞ可し
Where sits the chakin
During the thick tea rite?
At the brazier’s feet
The front edge of the small board
Presents itself as a seat

Topic – Robiraki

Poem:

餘所などに花を贈らば、其の花は開き過ぎしを遣らぬ物也
yoso nado ni hana wo okuraba, sono hana wa hiraki sugishi wo yaranu mono nari
Flowers in full bloom;
An unwelcome gift to the
Host of chanoyu –
How should one hide their distaste
When the alcove is wilting?
