Traditional baths, also known as in the Middle East, baths in European and Asian cultures, and onsens in Japan, have been central to the social, cultural, and architectural heritage of many societies around the world. These communal spaces were once an essential part of daily life, offering more than just a place to bathe. They were sites for relaxation, socializing, and sometimes even political discussions, often reflecting the cultural values and social norms of the time. While many traditional baths are no longer as widely used, they remain an iconic symbol of the civilizations that created them.
