Core Kyoto - Season 11 Episode 15 The Power of Cleaning: Daily Habits for the Heart and Soul
The Kyoto cityscape is dotted with historic Buddhist temples, traditional Machiya townhouses, and Ryokan inns. Cleaning is vital for their longevity and appearance, but it is more than the act of removing dirt. In Zen Buddhism, cleaning is an essential part of asceticism and is deeply spiritual. At Ryokan and traditional restaurants, it is the basis of hospitality. One cleaning supply store has been in business for over 200 years. Discover Kyotoites' values through the everyday act of cleaning.
