This is my daughter's OMAMAGOTO KITCHIN (playing house kitchen.)

She uses this habitually for about one year.

She did a SHOUGEKI NO KOKUHAKU (shocking confession)impactcoldsweats02 to me yesterday.
She was saying that

"KONO KURUKURUrecycle MAWASUNOTTE NANI?"

"What is this one turned round and roundrecycle?"

"E~!!
danger SHIRANAKATTANOO? (What? Didn't you know?)"coldsweats02
The one turned round and round
recycleis a dial that adjusts thermal power.
"How did you do it when you turn on the fire and turn off the fire with your kitchen?"
"KOUYO"  ("I do it in this way." )

She said and pushed it with a finger over a kitchen counter.

NARUHODO NATTOKU!! (Yep, that does make sense.)
flair
A range of my kitchen is like this.
down

Thumbnail image for 20081110-02.jpgShe saw me cooking with pushing the button of the electric range in a kitchen.Blip! Blip!

And, she might have mimicked it.
She has watched only such a range like this since she was born. Even if she does not know the dial of the playing house kitchen, it is no wonder. SHOUGANAI DESU.
Wow

When I look around it in a house... eye
I see.flair NARUHODO!!
A dial is MEZURASHII (rare) now in a Japanese house. house
In my home, there is such a button on the walldown behind the kitchen, too.

Operation buttons of bath and floor heating.
If you push the button "FURO JIDOU
spa(Automatic bath)" even if the kitchen and the bathroom are away.
The hot water automatically enters the bathtub, and it stops it in the just good water temperature and amount of the hot water.
It will announce,





"
OFURO GA WAKI MASHITA (The bath is heated)heart04" when it is completed it. In the home in recent Japan, it is a device not rare.

Inside of the bath is like this.downwardright
The button is here also, and the amount of the hot water and the temperature of the hot water can be adjusted.
Therefore, there is no faucet in the bathtub. OFURO NIHA JAGUCHI GA ARIMASEN.

Personally my favorite button is this green "YOBIDASHI BOTAN  (call)" button.

If I push this button, the announcement "OFURO DE YONDE IMASU (Please come to the bath)ear"
flows from the operation panel of a kitchen.

...ZANNENNAGARA (Unfortunately),I have no chance to be called by this device.downdespair

When I bathe two children, and a child goes out of the bath in turn, I will push the button and call my husband who is in the kitchen.
I don't need to shout
impact from the bath,
"AGARUYO~!! (Bring the towel, kids will get out from the bath!!)"
TOTTEMO BENRI DESU. (It is very convenient.)
happy01good

Speaking of a BENRI NA BOTAN (convenient button) in the house
house,
I seem to be surprised
coldsweats02 of overseas people at Washlet in Japanese restroomtoilet.
Overseas people seem to be interested in Washlet very much though
Washlet is ATARIMAE (natural) in Japan.
Because a talk seems to become long
,
I make this continuance next OTANOSHIMI (fun)

Japan is so high-technology. Almost everything is automated. Its great to know that. More power to your blog.

Hi! I found your site because of the rss feeds in my email.

I love your site, because it's simple and sweet and very informative. Plus your site is bilingual: Japanese and English

I've always been interested in the Japanese culture and language so I'm very happy to read and learn new things through your site.

I will come to visit your site everyday! I hope you keep up the good work! ^^

Best,
Mitzi

Hello Miko,

I used to live in Japan last year. It is really true that there are so many buttons. The appliances and devices that use nobs are getting less and less. I t is really funny that your daughter's play kitchen is different. I am sure they will soon have to make a new set of toys with only buttons.

Take care,
Kieran

Wow! To be honest, there are more panels and buttons in your house than I expected! I haven't seen that many before. I haven't seen that kind of bathtub control before...! I don't think that it's very common yet. On the other hand, that style of oven is becoming more and more common in the United States.

In my opinion, Japan is probably the world's leader in new technology. I like it all very much :) Haha.. I only have a small apartment right now, so there aren't as many fancy things.

That your daughter didn't know about what "the one that turns around and around is" is funny! haha, maybe it's similar to the way that your parents feel sometimes? "what are those buttons on the oven??" :) My mother doesn't understand new technology very well... :P She will learn!

Dear Miko,

I was working with my US lawyer via email communiations, and I saw your ad (quoted) on google adsense, so I got distracted and landed on your lovely blog site.

In a troubled world of today, I am deeply touched by your blog, and I think you are a special person and thus deserve all the happiness reflected in your blogging.

Anyway, please keep on doing this so more people can share your life and feel the harmony in the world.

Yours,

Roy Fang - Taipei, Taiwan
