Do you like tiding? Do you like to clean your room?

As the year comes to a close, Japan has a unique culture. It is called “osouji” (大掃除), which literally translates to “big cleaning.” This tradition, deeply rooted in Japanese history and spirituality, involves a thorough cleaning of homes, offices, and public spaces in preparation for the New Year.
