The addictive part of being a blog master is that you are at the mercy of the author's slight deviations. In this case its "Bathrooms of the World." Japan is an amazing country when it comes to their latrines. Japan has thought of every conceivable problem that could happen to one while on the bowl. For example, here is a toilet in bookstore (two above), that looked like Kirk's armchair from Star Trek. Armrests curve alongside the bowl, supplying a captain like feel to the patron. The armrests, here ladden with buttons for the water jets and varying sprays and streams of water. Also included is a heated seat (see the wire from the bowl) and blow dryer.
I was even told that some johns have speakers built in, the idea being that when an impending splash-down occurs, the self-conscious patron can have the option of having musical accompanment. Perhaps the bombastic fanfare of a rousing Sousa march to cover up the splash of the tell-tale movement.
This toilet (below) represents the crude, blunt style in Japanese toilet history. Most pubs, even some restaurants have this style. This pictured toilet is in an abandonded medical clinic. Abandoned for what must have been all the right reasons.

Other toilets have sinks an the upper lid, so as you flush you can wash your hands as the sink water refills the bowl below. Clever, eh? If any more commodes arouse my attention, you can be sure you'll see 'em here first.

Lucky you.
