Re: chabana or other tea arrangements
tea for one... a live plant thrown in this arrangement, not my norm...
Re: chabana or other tea arrangements
Nice set up!! Wish I had the room!! Wow.
Is rolling of the cloth some tradition, or just
your design idea?

Unlike Chanoyu, Senchado and cha xi have few formal rules, I like to role the cloth to create a break in the composition, or to stop they eye from "falling" of the table. I have only seen one other person use the rolled cloth, a japanese woman who practices chinese cha xi. Nice flower by the way it looks quite happy to be enjoying tea with you.
Re: chabana or other tea arrangements
Well I really like it! And i just noticed the right angle folding which resembles origami.
Thank you for the compliment. I planted 3 camellia bushes in my garden many, many years ago. This is the only one that survived, but I am rewarded each Feb/Mar with beautiful blooms.

Blairswh...,
Love your shots - and love your chaxi setups.
You're really getting to me, inside - and I'm digesting, percolating.
Definitely impacted.
My gratitude.
Great shot V! Woh.
Gorgeous bloom.

Re: chabana or other tea arrangements
If you can't tell, this has been my favorite cup lately. Maybe because the new chataku sets it off so nicely.

I also liked your cup. In fact I decided to buy one for myself.
Searching on "porcelain tea cup" brought up 1000s of cups.
After buying this set of four and finding two more that I liked.
I realized I was going about this all wrong.
I should ask you where did you get yours?
Duh on meRe: chabana or other tea arrangements
Well that's a great cup you have. I really like it when there is a red accent added. Which is what drew me to my cups too.
