what is the bathing song ritual?

Bathing song ritual is a cultural practice. In Japan's Shinto festival men and women are dressed in white robes and they clap and chant before taking bath in ice cold water. After the bath they sing and dance fiercely. Different cultures have different practices with their own implications. They pray before the shrine at Tokyo to take away their pains and worries. Then they go for the cold bath. Last year on this ocassion women prayed for the end of coronavirus.
