I filmed the women's version of the 'bondemae' 盆点前 (informal tea rite using tray) using a brazier with gargoyle lugs ('kimen-buro' or 'daisu-buro'). This brazier is quite a mis-match with the
super-informal bondemae. I improvised with my fukusa to take the kyaku-tsuki lug down and then return it to up at the end of the temae. I've never used a gargoyle brazier in the bondemae, nor
have I seen one used. I simply imagined what would likely be the case if this ever occurred in a strict Ueda Ryu context.
The men's version of the bondemae and many other videos can be found under the 'Videos' tab:
