Each tean would have a <I>suhama</I> ("sandbar") that looked like a portable miniature mountain constructed of precious material on which poem cards would be added during the competition as the poem was verbally rendered for consideration. Emperor Uda (867-931) held these. <I>Uta-awase</I> were organized for Retired Emperor Murakami in 968 & Empress Hiroko in 1056.<BR/><BR/>The tanzaku card size of today was probably decided by a popular printer of poem cards distributed at temples in the Meiji period.<BR/><BR/>Items used in artistic display including footed stands and trays are sometimes characterized as tanzaku (in style) because of the their unusual length relative to width. An elegance related to antiquity & poetry can be implied by tanzaku-style. <BR/><BR/>For a footed display table's top, the tanzaku-style length would be more than twice the table's width, but it considered less elegant if length is greater than three times the tabletop's width.<BR/><BR/>Trays of more length than width, when very long are sometimes referenced as <I>ichimonjibon</I>-- a tray (<I>bon</I>) styled after the character for "one" (a single horizontal line). They are common for displaying and serving cups of steeped tea (sencha).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
