Misogi is purification by water taken directly and physically, following Izanagi, who bathed in a river after escaping the underworld; the account has Amaterasu born from his left eye as he washed it, Tsukuyomi from his right, and Susanoo from his nose. The practice today usually means standing under a waterfall or entering the sea or a river, in a loincloth or a white robe, most often in the coldest part of winter. It is not simply endurance: the standard sequence includes furitama, shaking the hands with the spirit held between them, and torifune, a rowing motion with shouted counts, to warm and focus the body first, and continuous chanting while under the water. Tsubaki Grand Shrine in Mie and Kanda Myōjin's cold-water rites in Tokyo run public sessions, and the practice has been exported to Shinto groups abroad. Deaths have occurred, and shrines that run it insist on supervision and on nobody going in alone.
