Talmadge reflects on Japanese bathing culture and the obsession with finding the perfect environment (bath "theme parks" are one), the perfect temperature, and the perfect odor to achieve the ideal bath. The long history and science of Japanese bathing mingle with a study of water's healing powers and sound advice on where and when to visit the baths.
