Yes, by all means it's more a symbolic act that Japanese practice as a tradition. A Japan is rich in traditions. On the flip side, for those rushing to the conclusion that Japan wastes water without a care, consider that when families take a bath, they tend to soap and rinse thoroughly, but they share the water in the common tub. In other countries, gallons upon gallons are washed right down the drain per person in tubs and showers each day. I'm not criticizing how other countries do it, just calling out that there is a difference.
