20081117-01.jpgSA-TE ZENKAI NO TSUZUKI DESU. (Okay. It is the continuance of the story.)
I had a lot of comment from the foreign countries when I wrote it
about Japanese common sense. DOUMO ARIGATOU!!happy02
Overseas people seem to want to know more about a daily thing of Japan.
SOKODE!! (So) I have begun with such a photograph this time.
Where of my home is this button attached?
...Japanese doesn't need to think.
NIHONJIN NO MINASAN HA KANGAENAKUTEMO WAKARIMASUNE.

And the overseas people please look at the illustration on the button.
BOTAN NO UENO IRASUTO WO MITE KUDASAI.

Yep.(SOUDESU) It is a picture of OSHIRI (hips).
This is a button in the rest roomtoilet of my homehouse.

Things what you can do with this button is...

1. Front and Rear Washingsweat01. (We call it Washlet in Japan.)

2. Heated Seat with Temperature Control.
TOTTEMO ATATAKAI DESU.(It's warm and nice in the winter.)catface

3. Auto Flushsweat01 Activated by Sensors or the Simple Touch of a Button.

4. Automatic Open and Close Lid Activated by Sensors, and so on.

Thumbnail image for 20081117-02.jpgSHIKAMO!! (Moreover), because 3 and 4 are set automatically, hands-free flushing system and a sensor-activated lid that automatically liftsup as you approach the toilet  and lowersdown as you walk away.run SUBARASHIIsign03fuji It's awesome!!
SARANI!! (Furthermore), there is no flash tank in the restroom. It is installed inside of wall.BIKKURI DESUNE.(Surprise!!)
CHOTTO MATTE KUDASAI!!paper
(Wow!! Wait a minutes.)

"I don't understand. What is it?"
"NANIGA NANDAKA WAKARIMASEN."

The person who does not know a Japanese restroomtoilet may think so.
Then I explain it with the photographcamera of the restroom article maker.



MAZUHA (First of all), front and Rear Washing.down

20081117-03.jpgA nozzle comes out like this, and warm water comes out of there. sweat01
This is a function that is installed to the rest roomtoilet at most homes in Japanhouse.

This is installed in most public places, too. SU-PA- MA-KETTO (The supermarket)apple, BYOUINhospital (the hospital), and HOTERUhotel (the hotel),NADONADO (etc).



The recent Japanese seems to think it is not clean enough only by having wiped bottom part with toilet paper.OSHIRI WO FUKU DAKEDEHA KIMOCHI GA WARUI DESU.bearingsweat01


20081117-04.jpgThe automatic open and  close lid is like this.→→→→→→→

I will be surprised without knowing this function if I stand in front of a restroomtoilet.
I say
"DAREDA!! (Who is it)?"
coldsweats02
and may look back.eyeenter
When you have seat heaterspa in your restroom, if you leave the lid open, thermal efficiency deteriorates, so that this automatic Open and Close lid saves the energy.(SHOU ENE DESU.)good
(Maybe, we should not use an electric powerflair so much for the rest room from the beginning?! HA-HA-HA!!coldsweats01)

SOU SOU KONNA MONO MO ARIMASUYO.

20081117-05.jpgThe most of the Japanese woman, it seems not to want to be heardear a sound in a public restroomtoilet.
HOTONDO NO NIHONJIN JOSEI HA TOIRE DE OTO WO KIKARERU NOHA HAZUKASHII NODE IYA DESU.

If you push this button you will hear a sound that water flows.notes

OMIZUsweat02 GA MOTTAI NAI NODE, OTO DAKE DESU.
(Because you must not waste water
sweat02, the water does not flow only by a soundmusic.)
For a KEPPEKI SHOU NO JOSEI (cleanly woman) who do not want to touch the button by hand, paper there is a sensor and you will hearear the soundnotes by shadingpaper the black place with a hand.

This device is called "shineOTOHIME (Princess sound)shine".
And I heard that it's been stored up in Museum of Modern Art MOMAart of New York.
WARATTEHA IKEMASEN, HONTOU NANDESU. Don't laugh, it is true.delicious

DOUDESU (See)?  BOTAN DARAKE (Many many buttons).
I got a comment from a person who have the plan of the tripairplane in Japan.
I am anxious whether the person can manage a Japanese restroomtoilet. SHINPAI DESU.despair
DEMO DAIJOUBU!! (But it's gonna be all right!)wink

Nice blog.
I am studying Japanese now. Like to develp communication with you.
よかったら 友達に なりたいです。

Dear Miko,

I came across your blog by chance while i was emailing my girlfriend in Japan, and I'm so glad i did.

It made me feel so homesick for the things i used to love while living in Japan, teaching English.

Thank you!

Sarah

Honestly, it's hard to imagine a toilet like that (especially with a washlet) :) The best part of the OTOHIME is the name, ahhaha... I love it :D

In that first picture... the 3rd button says "ビデ" (or maybe "ピデ".. it's hard to tell), right? I don't understand that part. The picture makes me think of a person being pushed into the air by a big water fountain ( like this http://www.germanspeakingclubsofarizona.org/images/Fountain2.jpg ) :)

haha, great photos!

I miss those toilets ;_; Although, I have to admit, they were pretty intimidating the first few weeks...I had to have a few drinks in me before I was brave enough to use ALL of the buttons.
