Yamabushi practice shugendo, a combination of Buddhism and Shinto. That's probably why it rings a bell with you, Tengu-dono. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamabushi- Imagawa

Noble Cousins!
Greetings from Solveig! Back to the topic of feast gear. One approach to this is to put together the collection of nested bowls with lids used at Soto sect Zen Buddhist monasteries. These are your basic lacquer ware bowls with lids, but in varying sizes. These should be accompanied by a set of reusable chopsticks and two pieces of cloth of somewhat different size.

I seem to remember seeing a plastic version of those nested bowls at CostCo World Market... hmmm... might have to pop by there today and see if I can find them. - Imagawa

I considered furoshiki, but then I figured there had to be a more efficient way...

What could be more efficient than an all purpose square of fabric? It's a towel. It's an apron, It's a book bag. It's gift wrap. It slices, it dices - no, well, it doesn't slice and dice, but it's darned handy and I've taken to keeping a couple around in my camp kit. Takadai-hime can attest that I carried my books and handouts to class in one at Estrella. I may have posted this before, but it shows how to wrap all sorts of objects: www.env.go.jp/en/focus/attach/060403-5.html

Yup, I just used a furoshiki for my gear the other day. Cup inside bowl[1] and tie two corners, then place chopsticks on top and tie the remaining corners. Stick inside bag of choice (in my case, a non descript messanger bag I can just shove under the table).
[1]I'm not quite sure what to use for larger amounts of gear. I find one medium bowl to be pretty suitable though, as I don't mind (and sometimes prefer) all my food touching each other.

personally i tie two corners, do one half-hitch, place chopsticks on top of that tie, then make the half-hitch a square knot. And for more gear i have two bowls, one for dessert and one for dinner.

Makiwara-dono is correct, she carried her books very eficiently in a furoshiki safely through the mud and muck at Estrella. While I was in Japan, I got a book on using furoshiki and a pair of heavy plastic ring handles which are sold as furoshiki accessories. Didn't buy any furoshiki though, the nice ones were all quite expensive and I figured I can make my own.
