Oryoki

As I said, a few pieces seemed to be missing from the picture of the "official" Soto set. Here are all the bowls (some are not actually bowls, but a bowl holder that the bigger bowl rests on) but without the wrapping cloths and other soft items.



And, yes, absent some physical limitation to require a fork, one should best use chopsticks.

So true Jundo, I still have mine that I created last year - actually sewed the napkin and wrapping cloth as well. The new item I did buy was a little spatula for the cleaning, 0.95 cents ... a bargain.

I very much appreciate the fact that cost is being considered for our oryoki practice group. Being disabled and on a teeny tiny income, I don't have much room in my budget for "extras". I like the idea of "building" my own set from low cost items rather than purchasing a set. The frugality appeals to me, but also I like the idea of mindfully gathering items to create a set. I am looking at the pics Jundo posted of oryoki sets. The set I have already is the "stripped down" version, so I'm excited to learn how to put together a set that is "official". I have a sewing machine and will be glad to learn how to sew the napkin, wrapping cloth, etc.
