[K-Geography] Traditional hair washing

Visitors have their hair washed with water boiled with iris leaves during an event at the National Folk Museum in Seoul on June 2, 2022, to celebrate the traditional Korean holiday "Dano," or the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar that falls on the next day. Washing hair in iris water is one of the main Dano rituals, believed to add shine to the hair. (Yonhap)
