Hi! This is SUZUNO from Sakura Hostel Asakusa.
Did you know it is said that Japan has more than 88,000 shrines??
If you have been to any shrines in Japan, you might see this one.
This is called "Chozuya", place for purify your hands and mouth before proceeding to stand in front of the deity.
Do you know how to do that by the way?
1. Holding dipper in your right hand, and wash your left hand
2. Then, holding dipper in your left hand, and wash your right hand.
3.Holding dipper in your right hand again, pour water in palm of your left hand and rinse your mouth.
4. Washing your left hand again.
5. Holding the dipper vertically and remaining water runs down and purifies the handle.
DONE!! Now you are ready to go to pray!!
If you have a chance to go to shrine, please try purifying your hands and mouth :)!!
Thank you for reading!!
