JAPANESE WATER...

One of the important rituals when visiting a shrine in Japan takes place at the water purification fountain, known as the chozuya or temizuya next to the entrance.

Worshippers use ladles called hishaku to scoop up water to wash their hands and sometimes their mouths.

Due to the pandemic, many ladles have been removed from shrines and temples as a safety precaution.

Some people feared the custom was in danger of dying out.

 

Have a beautiful day, M, (*_*)
