• Gomei

Gomei are poetic names given to some utensils.

Gomei are usually given to an item by a distinguished Chajin. Oiemoto for instance makes a lot of gomei for Chashaku.

Items that often have gomei are:

• Bamboo Chashaku with Nakabushi

• Old Chawan

• Old Chaire

When preparing and planing a Chaji or Chakai one should try to make some relations between the different dogo through the gomei's.

Chashaku

For Koicha the names are usually heavy and zen related, while those for Usucha are light and seasonal.
