Residents gathered at Tokyo's Kanda Myojin Shrine on Saturday to take part in a purification ritual, marking a fresh start to the New Year. The beginning of 2024 has been challenging for Japan, with a devastating earthquake. The festival attendees warmed up near the shrine under a clear winter sky and then took turns immersing themselves in icy water despite the cold weather.

Child: Dad, why are the humans bathing in icy water?
Dad: They want to purify themselves, I heard.
Child: Aren't they themselves pollute the sea with Fukushima waste water?
Dad: Shut up! I don't remember raising you to talk to me like that.
