How often do the Japanese bathe? In all the animes I have seen they try to make it look like a special occasion.

>> No.2652722

I think its biannual.

>> No.2652724

Before we get to the answer, may I ask about how often do YOU bathe?

>> No.2652725

Daily.

>> No.2652726

Damn, why did I smirk at OP's pic?

>> No.2652729

Some guys on 2ch told me they bathe every 5 days or so.

dunno if they're representative of the Nipponese population at large. Probably not.

Who the hell has a bath every day? A daily shower is normal, with a bath every week or so. That's why it's a special occasion.

>> No.2652735

I dunno. I'm not sure if they have showers.

Anime: For men, they bathe alone.

For women, they always bathe together and most of the time they feel up each other instead of actually taking a bath

bathing isn't for washing in Japan. It's just for relaxing. They do wash themselves daily, but not by taking baths.

>> No.2652744

I had some Japanese exchange students over and they took a bath every night: seperately.

Who the hell washes themselves in a bath anyway? That's disgusting unless you've had a shower first, in which case taking a bath to wash yourself is redundant.

>> No.2652759

Well the basic idea behind baths is that it is easy to get rid of the stubborn dirt clogging the skin pores if you immerse your body in a large body of hot water (or water with soap) for extended periods of time. Which is something showers sometimes couldn't take care of.

They represent as much of GLORIOUS NIPPON as when people here say they only bathe once every few weeks and admitting to wetting the bed past the age of 18.
