Illustration: At a deep utility sink in a Japanese home, an adult uses both hands to press a folded cleaning cloth into a basin of water. Most of the fabric is submerged, with a final dry corner bending beneath the surface and small air bubbles escaping from the folds. Ripples spread outward from the hands.
