The location of fushi varies with the three styles: fushi-nashi, which does not have any knots, for the Shin style; tome-bushi, which has a knot at the bottommost part, for the Gyo style; and naka-bushi, which has a knot at the middle point of Chashaku or sometimes at an upper or lower location than the middle point, for the So style.
それぞれ無節(節なしと読む)、止め節(節が切り止め部分にある)、中節(節が茶杓の中間に位置するものや、それより上にあるもの、下にくるものがある）と節の位置が変わる。
