Kontrolleren på et moderne japansk toilet.

Der findes to typer toiletter i Japan [1] [2].

Den ældste type er et simpelt toilet, hvor man skal sidde på hug.

Efter 2. verdenskrig blev de moderne vestlige typer af toiletter, som fx træk-og-slip toilet og pissoir, mere normale.

Senere er der udviklet mere avancerede modeller med for eksempel varme i sædet, 'rumpe-skyl'-funktion og lufttørring med varm luft.

The toilet is located in the Asahikawa Grand Hotel in Asahikawa, Japan. For the related control panel see JapaneseToiletControlPanel.jpg for details. The toilet has a pressure sensor in the seat and stops operating within a second if the pressure is taken off, so this was a tricky shot (pressing down the seat base by hand and removing the hand just in time for the picture. And, boy did I make a mess on the floor until I figured out to put the trashcan underneath). The picture shows the water jet for cleaning the vulva, with the pressure set to medium. The same nozzle uses different openings at a higher pressure (with the same setting of the pressure control) for cleaning the anus.

For flushing of the toilet the handle to the left behind the lid is used. The Kanji 大 (ookii, meaning big) refers to a large flush after rotating the handle to the left for large size waste (大便, daiben, meaning feces). The kanji 小 (chiisai, meaning small) refers to a small flush after rotating the handle to the right for small size waste (小便. shonben or shouben, meaning urine).
