happy wednesday all! a look at the original painting i did of the famous ♨onsen mark that signifies onsen or sento--hot springs and public baths on maps in japan! did you know that the 3 wavy lines has another meaning besides symbolizing hot water? they are also indicators on how long you should soak in order to get the most out of an onsen bath. the left line is slightly shorter than the middle one, and the right one being shortest--this reflects what was the recommended duration for each soak: first you start off soaking for 5 minutes (represented by the left line), then 8 minutes (center line), and last of all, 3 minutes (right line) to wrap up an onsen bath. for more tips about wa style, or japanese style bathing for at the onsen (hot spring) or at home, check out my book, how to take a wa style bath--available on amazon & blurb right now! link in bio✨♨✨ . . . . . . #happywednesday #bathtime # ♨ #symbol #howtotakeawastylebath #wastyle #japanese #onsen #hotspring #bath #bathing #soak #wellbeing #selfcare #illustrated #book #tips #funfacts #japan #original #art #painting #illustration #watercolour #watercolor #ink #blottedlinedrawing #jodisam
