Cleansing.

On the 29th, I soaked in an Onsen. It was hot spring water piped into Tokyo. Very relaxing.

On the 30th, I attended a taiko drumming ceremony at a temple for the fire god. (it was like that recent Mitsubishi Eclipse ad, except the drummers were monks in robes instead of attractive women)


New Years celebrations are imminent, where I will likely get uncleansed by drinking a healthy amount of Sake & Shochu.
