In Japan and Southwest Asia, bathing traditions revolved around bathhouses. A place where traditionally people came together communanly to bathe and share time. Whereas in the early times of Western Europe history bathing was not common due to economic weight of buying soap and heating water. In later times during the Renaissance era, similarly to Japan and Southwest Asia, bathhouses became a center for gathering with others to bathe and engage in dialogue.
