Japanese-Designed Public Restrooms in the Shape of Fish, Crabs, Tree Stumps – Colossal


Flickr user and photographer Okinawa Soba (Rob) has been documenting the obscure designs of public restroom facilities on the Japanese island of Okinawa for the last six years. Rob has lived on the island, which is home to 1.3 million residents, for nearly 43 years, and has had the chance to explore some of the stranger bathrooms the prefecture has to offer. Included in this group is a koi-shaped bathroom which asks guests to enter through the mouth, a sliced orange, a stubby trunk with windows that have replaced its missing branches, and a robotic crab.

  1. I have the impression that Japanese people are really toilet fixated, in the sense that they try to hide that this part of life (and the body) exists at all … 😉
