Chōzubachi
Chōzubachi
A chōzubachi (手水鉢) is a vessel originally designed to keep water for rinsing one’s mouth and cleansing one’s body before entering the sacred precincts of a Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple in Japan.
A derivative vessel is the tsukubai (つくばい), an important feature of the Japanese tea ceremony found within the yard surrounding the tea house.
