Japanese: 大きさは幅91cm奥行き42cm高さ67cmほどとかなり大型で、京間でなければ畳からはみ出てしまう。
English: Generally kaigu (a set of four matched utensils: mizusashi (freshwater container), shakutate (ladle stand), kensui (waste water container), and futaoki (lid rest)) is matched with the shindaisu.
Japanese: 通常は皆具（水指・杓立・建水・蓋置の4つを同一素材・同一意匠で揃えたもの）を合わせる。
English: Originally planned and created by Juko MURATA, it was the same size as shin daisu, but today the one which is more commonly seen is a smaller one modified for ro (a square box installed into the floor of a tea ceremony room to make a charcoal fire) by SEN no Rikyu.
Japanese: 元は村田珠光の創案と伝えられ真台子と同寸だが、現在一般に見られるのは千利休が炉用に改変した小型のもので、幅75cm奥行き38cm高さ60cmほどである。
English: It is said that the shape of this daisu was modeled after a gate which only successful examinees from one of the historical civil service examination that took place in China could pass through, or a stand used to place the examinee's composition.
Japanese: 科挙の進士及第の者のみが通れる門を象ったとも、進士及第の作文を置くための台に由来するともいわれる。
English: Among daisu, there are Sotan konomi (favorite) and Enshu konomi, and these two have the same name but their shapes are completely different.
Japanese: 宗旦好みと遠州好みとがあり、この2つは名称が同じだけで形状は全く異なる。
English: Sotan konomi is rather small (67 cm wide and 50 cm high) and varnished with black lacquer; it was modeled after a Chinese table which was brought through the Ryukyuan trade.
Japanese: 宗旦好みは幅67cm高さ50cmほどと小振りの真塗りで、琉球貿易により到来した唐物の卓を象ったもの。

Japanese: 通説では文永4年（1267年）南浦紹明が宋の径山寺から持ち帰ったものが大徳寺や天竜寺にわたったとされ、足利義政のころに村田珠光が能阿弥らともに台子の寸法や茶式を定めたと言われている。
English: Although it was originally big and one ken (181cm) in width, the size of daisu seems to have been reduced until the late fifteenth century.
Japanese: 元は幅が一間（181cm）と大きなもので、おそらく15世紀末までに小型化されたものと考えられる。
English: Daisu were always used in the shoin style tea ceremony, from which various odana, kodana (small stand), nagaita (long board) were generated, and moreover Hakobi temae (the tea ceremony in which essential items for the tea-making are carried into the tea room by the host), which any display stand was not used in, seems to have been invented.
Japanese: 書院式の茶礼にはすべて台子を利用し、そこから各種の大棚・小棚・長板などが派生し、さらには棚物を用いない運び点前が考案されたと考えられている。
English: Although it depends on the school, daisu can be used as a formal stand as well as nagaita.
Japanese: 流派にもよるが、格式の高い棚物として、長板とほぼ同様の取り扱いで用いることができる。
English: Compared to tea ceremony that use kodana, which is the most common style, there are different ways of handling hishaku (ladle for scooping hot/cold water), futaoki, and kensui.
Japanese: 一般に使われる機会の多い小棚の点前と比べると、柄杓、蓋置、建水などの扱いに差が多い。
English: However, it is much simpler than tea ceremony which uses daisu, and is treated as a secret.
Japanese: しかしこれは秘伝として扱われている台子点前と比べれば非常に簡素なものである。
English: The historical material concerning daisu in the tea ceremony first appeared in "Matsuya Kaiki" (Record of the Tea Ceremony at Matsuya) (1537), and then "Tennojiya Kaiki" (Record of the Tea Ceremony at Tennojiya) states that Sotatsu TSUDA (1504-1566) often used daisu.
Japanese: 茶の湯で台子が使われたことを示す史料の初見は『松屋会記』の天文6年（1537年）で、その後は津田宗達（1504～1566）が盛んに用いたことが『天王寺屋会記』で裏付けられている。
English: In those days, there was no rule about which utensils were to be used or how to decorate them.
Japanese: この頃は用いる道具や飾り方などは自由自在で、何ら特別なものではなかった。
English: However, it soon went out of fashion, and was almost not used by the time the Honnoji Incident occurred.
Japanese: しかしその後すぐに廃れてゆき、本能寺の変の頃までにほとんど用いられなくなっていた。
English: Later tea books (such as "Sogetsu Sashiwa Shu" and "Teiyoshu") provide an anecdote: Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI allowed only a few number of people (called the Seven Daisu Tea Masters) to learn the tea ceremony that utilized daisu which was reformed by SEN no Rikyu.
Japanese: 後世の茶書（『草月指話集』『貞要集』など）には、千利休が改めた台子点前を豊臣秀吉が秘伝としてごく限られた者（台子七人衆）に伝授を許したという逸話が伝えられている。
English: Above all, the fact that Hideyoshi used daisu in a tea ceremony held at the Imperial Palace in 1585 suggests that this particular event prompted the use of the daisu as something special.
Japanese: 特に天正13年（1585年）に秀吉の禁裏献茶で台子点前が用いられたことは、台子点前がごく特別なものと位置付けられるようになる契機として肯ける。
English: According to historical material (such as "Chanoyu Monjin") which was written when SEN no Sotan was alive, the Senke School (Sotan School) in those days fundamentally distinguished between the daisu in shoin tea room and the daisu in Sukiya (a four-and-a-half-mat tea room).
Japanese: 千宗旦の頃の史料（『茶湯聞塵』など）によると、当時の千家流（宗旦流）には基本的には書院の台子と数寄屋（四畳半）の台子という区別があったらしい。
English: A book of secrets passed down in the various schools of tea ceremony held by samurai families suggests that each school had its own style and way of decoration.
Japanese: 一方でほぼ同じ時期の武家茶道諸流の伝書ではそれぞれ異なる体系付けのさまざまな飾り方を伝えており、流儀化が始まっていることが覗われる。
English: For example, "Nanbo Roku" (Nanbo Record) (Nanbo School) includes an illustration called the fifty ways of decorating daisu, and "Izumiso" (Sekishu School) shows the nine steps of decoration which begin with shin, gyo, so (formal, semi-formal, informal), while "Teiyoshu" (Uraku School) mentions four kinds of decoration, shin, gyo, so, and 'ranoki' (random placement).
Japanese: 例えば『南方録』（南坊流）には台子五十飾とよばれる絵図があり、『和泉草』（石州流）には真行草に始まって全部で9段の台子飾り、『貞要集』（有楽流）には真行草と「乱置」の4種が示されている。
English: Rikyu seems to have tried to avoid daisu, and there are only three records concerning Rikyu's use of daisu.
Japanese: 利休は台子を遠ざけていたように見受けられ、利休が台子を使ったという記録はわずかに3回しか残っていない。
English: Sotan, too, was a pursuer of wabi cha (simple and rustic tea ceremony), and daisu was unnecessary in daily use at the Senke School.
Japanese: 宗旦にしてもわび茶の追求者であり、千家流においては台子は日常無用のものである。
English: It was said that tea ceremony with daisu should only be held on rare ocasions, even in the case of a samurai family's tea ceremony ("Izumiso").
Japanese: また武家茶道においても、台子点前は貴人といえども滅多に見せるべきでないものとされていた（『和泉草』）。
English: Shigenari FURUTA, Masakazu KOBORI, and Sadamasa KATAGIRI did not hold tea parties using daisu for the shogun, and Enshu had never held tea ceremony using daisu throughout his life ("Summary of Records of the Tea Ceremony by Enshu KOBORI").
Japanese: たしかに古田重然・小堀政一・片桐貞昌はいずれも将軍献茶に台子を用いていないし、遠州は生涯通して一度も台子を用いた茶会を行っていない（『小堀遠州茶会記集成』）。
English: Rikyu's avoiding daisu paradoxically might have elevated daisu to the highest grade, and the tea ceremony with daisu might have been gradually placed as a proof of full proficiency in the tea ceremony.
Japanese: 利休が台子を遠ざけたことが、逆に台子を高尚なものに押し上げ、皆伝の証としての台子点前という位置付けが成立していったとも考えられる。
English: Of them, gyo no gyo are called 'random decoration' or 'midare' (unmatched), and shin no gyo are called 'secrets' or 'shin daisu,' but are relatively known to the public.
Japanese: このうち行之行が「乱飾」「乱れ」、真之行が「奥儀」「真台子」と呼ばれて比較的巷間にも知られている。
English: The tea ceremony with daisu was reformed by Rikyu, and was decided to be kept a secret by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, and seven people were sworn to secrecy by Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 利休が改定した台子点前は豊臣秀吉によって秘伝とされたが、これを秀吉が伝授した7人を言う。
