The Ofuro | Japanese Bath is called 'furo', a word originating from a similar word, muro, which referred to a natural steam cave where people went to cleanse themselves by sweating, and after being steamed, a bather would go outside and scrape off the dirt, dead skin, and scum, using an item such as a bamboo leaf. A cold rinse would finish this whole process.
