Your back does the work the chair was doing, your legs fold instead of hanging, and there is nothing behind you to lean into. People who sit on the floor to drink tea are not being quaint about it. They have removed the piece of furniture that lets you stop paying attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it where you make the tea and sit on it to whisk. Or put it where the incense is, and sit on it afterwards with the bowl empty and the window open, for as long as the stick lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA disc of cattail, woven by hand around a cotton filling.

For a long cross-legged sit you want something twice as thick. This is for sitting to whisk, sitting to drink, and sitting still for the length of one stick of incense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it dry and air it outdoors now and then.
