A Ch\u014dzubachi (\u624b\u6c34\u9262) is a water ornament that is common in traditional Japanese gardens. It is used for ritual hand washing and cleaning the mouth before a person is allowed to participate in the tea ceremony or enter sacred grounds. The word Ch\u014dzubachi literally means \"water bowl for the hands.\".<\/p>\n
A Temizuya (\u624b\u6c34\u820e), also known as Ch\u014dzuya, is a small pavilion located near the entrance of a Japanese shrine, such as a Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple. Temizuya can be translated as the hut with water for the hands. This perfectly describes its function. There is, in fact, a relatively large Ch\u014dzubachi where several people can use it simultaneously. The ritual washing of hands and cleaning of the mouth at a Temizuya is an important part of a respectful attitude towards the Japanese shrine that you wish to enter.<\/p>\n
On the front are two characters that are read as Suisei (\u6c34\u6e05). This means clear water in Japanese.<\/p>\n
Both sides also feature engraved text, not all of which is clearly legible. On the left side, a reference to the origin can be read: Nagoya City, Chikusa District, Suemoritori (\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u5e02\u5343\u7a2e\u533a\u672b\u76db\u901a).<\/p>\n
On the right side, the age is confirmed with the year of engraving in the traditional Japanese calendar. Namely, Sh\u014dwa year 18 (\u662d\u548c\u5341\u516b\u5e74), which is the same as 1943.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
