a couple of days ago, in a post about our Japanese home, i made a reference to the cool toilet seats they have here, lamenting the fact that we don't have one. i realized that not everyone would have seen these things before, so now i'm back with photographs, the first of which, as an action shot, i'm especially proud of:
the bidet function in action, taken at great personal hazard and sacrifice; below, the rather involved control panel for this amazing device.
many of the toilets, or o-toire, here are fitted with these seats that are plumbed in and electrically powered, and that provide not only bidet but heater/drying functions and apparently others as well. as you see, there are quite a lot of buttons, along with a dial for bidet intensity. not to put to fine a point on it, but a high powered go on one of these things a day would be sure to keep the proctologist away. i don't think they're cheap to buy, but i do believe that importing Japanese techno toilet seats would be worth a possible addition to the trade deficit.
finally, another good toilet idea that me be worthy of imitation, if not importation, is the variable strength flush. in the picture below, you will see two characters on the flush lever, which mean small and big. push the lever the small way, and you only use a small amount of water. after a big movement, which is actually what it's called, you get more water. pretty clever idea anyway, which may be more than can be said for this post...

the clever lever: small on top, big at the bottom.
