The Evolution Of The Toilet
It was in the 20th century that western-style toilets were introduced into Japan. The Japanese are good at improving things. We felt uncomfortable when we sat on a cold toilet seat in winter. So we started to use toilet seat cover made of towel fabric. Now the seat itself is 1) warmed with a the built-in heater.
