[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools/shelf] Shindaisu (table) by Nakamura Muneyoshi, Edo or Kyo size, prefabricated, for hearth and brazier

●What is a Shindaisu? It is a black-lacquered shelf for displaying tea utensils of the "Shin" rank, with a rectangular top and base supported by four pillars.
There are certain rules for how they should be displayed, and they are called daisu kazari.
It is said that Noami established this rule based on the "Shoin's seven-place decorations."
There are various types of stands, such as the real stand, the Oki stand, the bamboo stand, the mulberry stand, and the Korean stand.
Originally, this was a tool used in tea ceremonies at Zen temples, and is said to have been brought from Song China by Nanpo Shomei in 1267.The daisu shelves from the early Muromachi period were about one ken wide and were different from modern-day dais.
