Temizuya Chozuya at Fushimi Inari Taisha in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto features a traditional stone water basin used for ritual purification. Wooden ladles rest on a rack, used by visitors to rinse hands and mouth before entering the shrine. Behind the basin, a moss-covered stone with a small protective bib adds a spiritual touch. The stone wall in the background contains engraved inscriptions, typical of Shinto shrine architecture. This cleansing area embodies the cultural and religious practices central to Shintoism.
