You might find toilets disgusting or fascinating. In any case, the market for really, really fancy toilets is huge in Japan.<\/p>\n
See this article at the wikipedia on them:
\n[Japanese Toilet]:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Japanese_toilet<\/p>\n
One thing that seems absent (feel free to correct me) is the concept of putting a faucet and a wash basin on top of the tank and letting the greywater be used for the next flush. See this guy’s blog: [a toilet with a faucet]:http:\/\/ryanehlinger.blogharbor.com\/blog\/NewApartmentTokuanOsakaJapan\/_archives\/2004\/12\/29\/218595.html<\/p>\n
One thing interesting is that the toilet seat (not just the lid) has a cover so your butt doesn’t have to touch cold plastic\/wood\/etc.
\nThis site [(little things Japanese)]:http:\/\/www.jun-gifts.com\/others\/littlethingsjapanese2\/littlethingsjapanese2.htm has lots of pictures, even if it’s not as well written as the wikipedia entry.<\/p>\n
Anyway. Enjoy! I’d write more on this wildly fascinating topic (no, really, it is), but I gotta go eat now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
