Yes, "Tyakin" is a soft cotton gauze to dry the ceramic.
"Fukusa" is a silk hadekerchief.
And also, "Natsume" is an orenge small pod in the movie to put Macha powder.
The big iron pod is "Furo".

That man from Texas is highly offensive.
"It's something [men] should be comfortable doing; it's not effeminate at all..."

What. The. Heck.
That was such an inappropriate comment.
It's just embarrassing.
Any man who would think that way is just completely derailed.

No... That's was a very good point to make to someone who might be skeptic. A lot of men are reluctant to try things that are traditionally or stereotypically seen as female jobs, his comment is meant to help broaden their perspective.

what upset me was that he was saying it's ok for guys to participate in Tea Ceremony because it is NOT effeminate. Why does it matter? Men and women should be able to engage in activities regardless of whether some ppl call them "masculine" or "feminine."

another mistake is that the drinkers are supposed to turn the bowl three times to get the mark to where it is supposed to be, then right hand on side and left on bottom you drink all of it down in three to five deliborate sips, not in one giant gulp. you carefuly wipe the chawan, and rotate it with three turns and et it back down carefuly where it was placed before you, then you bow.
