Men purify hand at the water pavillion #114747132
Description
The `temizuya` water pavilion consisting of a water basin and ladles is not a place to drink water. It is there to perform `misogi,` a ritual to purify the body and mind with water before proceeding to stand in front of the deity. Originally this ritual was performed in the nude at special misogi locations like the ocean or a river, but today the ritual has been simplified to rinsing your hands and mouth at the temizuya. Wash yourself with the idea of washing away impurities in your heart as well as from your physical self.
