As matters progressed, two earthenware plates were placed on top of each other on an rimless tray; on the far side a laver of dried konbu (kelp) was placed, which was then placed toward the head's mouth; sake (rice wine) was poured twice into the upper earthenware plate which is then placed face down near the head as if to give a drink; in addition, sake was again poured twice into the lower earthenware plate and placed as if to give a drink after the kelp was again placed toward the mouth.
つづいて縁の無い折敷に土器（かわらけ）を2つかさねて、向こうにコンブ1きれを置いて、コンブを首の口によせ傍に置き、上の杯に2度酒をつがせ、飲ませる体にして傍にふせて置き、またコンブを口に寄せ、下の杯に酒を2度いれて飲ませる体にする。
