With that being said let's begin. Number 5: The Water Savings Sink. In most washrooms
you'll find the sink close to the toilet so that you can wash your hands
just nearby once you are done with your business.
However, as observed in keno saki onsen the toilets there feature a water saving design
The sink is placed right where the cistern cover of the toilet will normally be
So that once you are done washing your hands the water used in the basin will enter the toilet cistern which is
Technically the water catching tank with this new toilet system what this means is that you are flushing
Whatever wastes that you have left in the toilet with the water that you use to wash your hands
This kind of toilet is
definitely
recycling
101 done right, we might say, this product is already started circulating in Japan since as early as
2013
Initially with simple designs such as having a faucet and a shallow sink above the toilets water tank when you flush the toilet
The faucet starts running is that you can have some time to wash your hands with the water from the faucet without wasting
Additional water resources this makes the faucet toilet combo a very ecologically friendly
Combination all while allowing you to save some space in the washroom while this concept started out pretty basic
Plenty of restaurants and even housing areas in Japan started to adopt this design making it more elaborate beautiful
User-friendly and affordable as an example due to the positioning of this faucet above the toilet
Users might need to stand a little awkwardly to use the faucet. This has led to several
redesigns of the faucet toilet combinations. One of the designs feature the sink being placed in a position
That faces away from the toilet seat to make it more accessible. Some other designs, meanwhile;
Started integrating more and more functions into the combo for example a mirror
Extension a small extendable counter to place any excess items you might need and so on these extra features are not
exactly necessary
but they could be functional for users intending to have their bathroom designs as
Compact and as functional as possible without having to buy several additional items
regardless of their designs the combo works well and ensuring that users can save more water and space in general and
They are slowly being rolled out into other countries number four a transforming tatami
Khatami's are basically floor mats that you can find in most Japanese households
Japanese households don't measure their room size and square feet or inches rather
They use the number of standardized tatami mats that can cover the floor as a unit of measurement
Traditionally tatami mats are made using rice drawers, and they act as a gentle yet firm
Under footing since these mats are very crucial parts of the house xin
Yamashita has developed new tatami concepts named land peel that don't only act as floor mats
rather these
modernized
versions of tatami mats feature a very minimalistic design
without using any of the features the
Transforming tatami looks just like a comfortable thickened mat upon which one can sit however
It's much more than that users can fold up the tatami to become makeshift tables
backrest or even a work surface
There is also some wiring built
into the tatami so that the lamp that you see in this product can be used without you having the
around extra wiring yet another space-saving feature
Which is also very?
Economically friendly while the lab could be seen as quite an obstruction it also serves to hold up one of the tables
When it's folded up however
It should be added that an individual unit of this itami is more suitable to be added in one's
personal room since the space and
makeshift parts can make up a workspace that is more suited for one person than for it to be shared and
Crowded with many people at the same time, if users find this product
Sufficient as it is they might not even need to get an extra table or counter for their room
Thus making this product a multi-purpose mat with space?
Conservation in mind the furniture itself features a three part mat set so when you are watching television
Reading the book or even studying you can lift the panel's
Easily to enjoy your activity of choice when you are finish all you need to do is to tuck the panels back into the mat
Thereby restoring a flat surface. Just as any other mat might look wow talk about
Revolutionising traditional design simply by giving at the Tommy mat a new look and a few extra functions

213 percent in business and just one month after introducing the rapper in their fast food chain
It's reasonable to believe that the rise in customers and sales could be due to
many new female customers trying out their classic burger all because the liberation rapper made it polite and
accessible to do so that's how impactful an eat rapper can be when it comes to proper table manners and
Decorum in Japan another possible reason why this product is so successful in Japan is because the Japanese culture
Considers ladies with a small and modest mouth to be attractive in fact this attractiveness even has a term of its own
It's known as ultra bull and any traits that are
Reflecting in an opposite manner from Ultrabook can be regarded as unattractive and even rude
Meaning that if you were to attempt to get a huge bite of any foods
It would be frowned upon
However the fact that the liberation rapper covers the faces of those eating means that it helps freshness burger gained
Significant female business, maybe one day we'll see this product being used in other regions around the world
number two auto revolving turning and retracting train seats
We all know that the Japanese railway systems are always full and crimped
Especially during the work rush hours in fact rush hours are not most
Individuals in Japan utilize the railway system as their main
Transportation mode so optimization and maintenance of this transportation system is extremely important during busy times
Railway users need to be pushed into the trains by train station workers and sometimes even with that it can still be very
difficult to pack
Everyone onto the trains as such there are train seats that can retract back into the ceiling during peak hours to allow for
more standing space in the Train in several regions of Japan
including Kyoto, Osaka

Unnoticeable until it rolls downward when the peak hours are over at these times some
Automated doors will be blocked

Facing a backward direction something which can be resolved with their latest addition to trains Auto
Revolving seats when trains reach their final destination the seats will revolve
