Haiken (viewing the utensils)

The guests admire the utensils that the host has used and think deeply about the host's consideration. The hanging scroll and flower container in the alcove, the kettle and the utensils displayed on the utensil mat are not touched but observed with the fan placed before one's knees. The tea bowl, tea container, tea scoop, silk cloth and so on can be taken in the hands and viewed, following the prescribed etiquette.
