I think it’s cool. And it forces them to keep them clean.

They’ll need diamond-tipped pens to scratch “for a good time, call...” on the walls.

A glance at the pic reveals that it’s the walls that are transparent. The terlits themselves aren’t. That would be gross and should be restricted to fine art museums.

Japan has long experimented with toilets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, what’s the deal with Japan and toilets? There must be a historical reason. Almost seems like a worthy subject for a book.

It’s part of their national obsession with cleanliness.

Yeah, what’s the deal with Japan and toilets? There must be a historical reason. Almost seems like a worthy subject for a book. I wrote the definitive book on that topic. Here it is, in its entirety:
126 million people living on narrow strips of coastal land in a chiefly mountainous country have to embrace a culture of good hygiene, or they die like flies.

Permanent Marker should do it.

My sister and niece went to japan a few years ago.My niece,who has Asperger’s Syndrome,found the toilet in their hotel room fascinating.The photos she took *were* interesting...it had about a dozen buttons on it,all with strange symbols.

True.One of the many things that have struck me about my several visits there (all in winter) is that many...actually,*most*...of the people you saw on the streets were wearing hospital-type masks.And this was 10 years ago.

Switzerland looks like the first with the concept.
But in reality...probably Tim the Toolman.
