Osoji or Ōsōji (大掃除) is a Japanese tradition of year-end cleaning. It involves thorough cleaning and decluttering of the Dōjō to welcome the new year with a fresh start. The practice goes beyond routine cleaning, embodying purification and renewal. Osoji has historical roots, with its origins traced back to the Heian period.
It includes cleaning both the physical space and symbolic elements, such as removing the dust of the past year and creating a harmonious environment. Osoji is observed in December, and its cultural significance extends to promoting unity, spiritual renewal, and a positive beginning for the coming year.
Drinks and snacks will be provided.
All students of the Dōjō are encouraged to attend and participate.
