I love this list! It occurred to me after my own shuso ceremony that we hold that fan and that staff so that we can't make silly gestures while speaking! Thank you, Heather, for your wonderful and regular postings.

I never thought of that. It’s curious to me how containing our arms and hands brings forth concentrated energy. Or a focus that gets diluted when we’re gesticulating. 🤷‍♀️

Oh. Wait. Not to do these?

I'll have to think about this...
