A LIST OF EXPERIENCES IN THE SHOWER

READ AND CONTRIBUTE

There are some daily habits that develop a ritual importance. The shower marks a transition between the private life at home and the public world at work. Though an personal act, it is shared by people worldwide.

As an online visitor to Water Medicine, you are encouraged to contribute a short observation about your shower to a public list. The Shower Book is designed to show the subtle ways that our lives are formed around water.

Please consider:

• What's the worst thing that's happened to you in the shower?
• What's a particularly pleasant way of having a shower?
• How do you survive a cold shower?
• What are useful ways of spending time in the shower?

The Shower Book is based on the 1,000 year old Pillow Book, which intimately captures the experience of daily life in imperial Japan.
