Let no man say japan has a paucity of toilets
I had a pleasant little number in this little number a few weeks back. Overall, this one rated quite highly, an eight out of ten for appearance.
As you can see, the basin is a hand-made earthernware afaire with nice asymetrical glaze / lack thereof. It was set into a green marble top with a tastefully understated faucet. It was almost a shame to use it, so I didn't contenting myself with a quick wipe on the back of the trousers.
The urinals were a delightful combination of modern and classical themes, standing alone and away from the wall. Closer inspection showed that all but a few of the most powerful had managed to miss without hitting the wall, so I think we can conclude that the technique was a success.
Cautionary note
As you can see from the photo, this toilet has a high "loiter" or "loom" quotient. This combined with the usual shyness associated with the act might dissuade some of our less confident micturators.
A quick glimpse into the cucbilcle was not wasted. A sharp eye will see that the cistern has not only been covered in clingfilm but also taped in place. At first, this was clear to me - the clingfilm was there to stop powders being snorted off it, and the tape to stop enraged drug-fiends from smashing it to pieces out of revenge.Judging by the standard of the establishment I was forced to discard this theory, however appealing it might be. It must have some deeper, more arcane purpose. Answers on a postcard, please.
The last item of note was this charming ceramic piece - I couldn't be fucked translating this in the insipient gloom, so I don't know what it was. However, I would like to believe that it was a recommended code of conduct to guide the user through the joys and woes of using this toilet. I imagine techniques for getting the majority of the liquid into the urinal featured here, with some more about techniques for getting stools to water level without spoiling hte cleanliness of the bowl.
