Toilets

So why is it that the coolest stuff always comes out of Japan. Here are a couple of pictures of toilets which I found really jaw dropping for quite different reasons.

Why did the Japanese think of this first. So obvious. Wash your hands after using the toilet and use part of the resulting grey water to flush the toilet with. Genius!

This toilet is over 100 years old and is from historical toilet making town Seto nr. Nagoya. It is just fantastically beautiful and graceful on its own making the WC the best room in a house. I want one very much.
