In Japan and South Korea, the term "skinship" (Japanese: sukinshippu (スキンシップ ); Korean: 스킨십) is used to describe the intimacy, or closeness, between a mother and a child. Today, the word is generally used for bonding through physical contact, such as holding hands, hugging, or parents washing their child at a bath. (wikipedia)
