In Gingitsune episode 11, they mention something called Misogi, what is it?


Misogi is a Japanese mountain ascetic practice of ritual purification. This
may be undertaken through [...] standing under waterfalls, or other methods. -
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogi)

This practice can also be seen in other Anime, like [Sailor Moon episode
105](http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Wanting_More_Power!_Mako-
Chan%27s_Lost_Path).
