砂雪隠. Square chiriana are usually about 36cm deep, and cicular chiriana
about 20cm deep. The protruding section is 1 cm from the ground surface,
with the lip about 2.5cm wide. The perimeter area is plastered, and a small
stone called the peep stone nozoki-ishi 覗石 is placed on the edge
of the chiriana. Green bamboo chop sticks are also provided for disposal
of waste. According to the CHANOYU ICHIESHUU 茶湯一会集 by Ii Soukan 井伊宗観 (Ii Naosuke
井伊直弼; 1815-60), when no chiriana is provided a waste basket can be
used for the disposal of leaves and twigs. The IZUMIGUSA 和泉草 discusses
the convenience of the placement of a circular chiriana in the toilet,
and the SOUSHUN'OU CHADOUKIKIGAKI 宗春翁茶道聞書 advises a square chiriana
be built near the waiting room if there is no toilet there. |
