(I very likely don't have the word spelled right as a Google search yielded zippo. I'm not much of an expert on tea ceremony. My wife studied it in college, but the term you mention doesn't ring any bells with her. I'm assuming you heard the word spoken and are guessing at its correct spelling, because the "ng" combo doesn't exist in Japanese -- "sonkuruko" or "son-gukuroko" would be acceptable, but alas, neither of those two seem to be on target either. Sorry I can't offer any more. --crymad |
