日本語EN

The thousand-person bath.

cocks and cunts too, in the welling, overflowing bath

chinpoko mo ososo mo waite afureru yu

Sōmokutō · Walking Mountains, Walking Waters (Sankō suikō)

Notes

The mixed bathing of a "thousand-person bath." Men and women alike, just as they are, soak in the welling, overflowing water. Without shame, without division, only the hot water brims abundantly. An easygoing paradise.
