		Western-style toilets, including high tech toilets, are now more common in Japanese homes than the traditional squat toilets, though some older apartments retain stickers in the bathroom illustrating the proper way to use a western toilet for urination and defecation.

		As someone familiar with both British outdoor toilets (many flats in Aberdeen still had communal stair toilets when I was a student) and the squat toilets in Parisian bars, I'd experienced Western equivalents to Japan's retro toilets.
		In fact, three Japanese technologies began to become indispensable to my idea of a "civilised life": the washlet toilet, the denki poto (a thermos kettle which allows you to have continuously boiling water for your green tea) and the vibro-massage chair.
		These technologies, familiar fixtures in most Japanese homes, are (like Japanese institutions the love hotel and the sento) the direct result of Japanese ways of thinking about the body, rather than anything specifically technological.

		Of note, the anthropomorphizing of the toilet, the weird bits of Engrish thrown in, and the remarkably frank approach to the whole messy business.

		Personally, I started toilet training my own son when he was a year and a half because my grandmother (my son's great-grandmother) who lives nearby would always be on my case about it.
