Takatsuki
Text
Also called koshidaka. A single-legged standing tray for presenting offerings (shinsen) that is thought to be identical to an item called takatsuki in the Engishiki's section on the Daijōsai (Great Festival of Enthronement). Originally, takatsukiwere used as stands to hold food or other objects, and were made of wood or clay. Those taking the form of a serving tray (oshiki) with stand were called oshiki-takatsuki. In some cases, the takatsuki is used as a stand to hold a separate offering tray (oshiki) on top. The ritual etiquette for using this type of takatsukiis specified in the rules for ritual procedure established by the Association of Shinto Shrines (Jinja Honchō). When presenting an offering on an oshiki-takatsuki, the officiant grasps the stand's leg with the right hand and holds the edge of the oshiki tray with the left, placing the thumb on the edge, with the other fingers underneath. The tray is then held at eye level.
