Resumé

Med afsæt i historiske og empiriske beskrivelser af offentlige og private badefaciliteter i Japan undersøger denne artikel kulturelle betydninger i japansk badepraksis. Ved at undersøge nøgenhed og varmt vand som mediatorer for nærhed og intim socialitet i Japan, udfordrer artiklen grænserne mellem den private og den offentlige sfære samt det intime og sociale. Artiklen viser, at badepraksis i Japan knytter bånd både på individplan og mellem statsborgere og argumenterer for, at badning i Japan er mere end bare et bad: Gennem intim socialitet genereres en imaginær varme og forbundethed mellem mennesker, som er et vigtigt element i den kulturelle sammenhængskraft og nationalidentitet i Japan.
