The coming of age purification ritual is held annually each January at Kanda Myojin Shrine to honour and pay homage to Daikoku, the deity of fortune, and involves people pouring ice-cold water over themselves in a pool of water and ice blocks to purify themselves to traditional Japanese music. The ceremony was scaled back significantly this year in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
