I like realism pieces. I have a 1/6 western toilet but have only used it for humour.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions about what this was. Actually more sophisticated than some of the types used for some public restrooms in Eastern Europe.
But your last statement concerns me... you only use your toilet for humor? Where do you go when nature calls? (Sorry, I just couldn't resist...)
MarkEl wrote:Ha, poorly edited! 1/6 toilets are a challenge to use. ;-) This one is a bit fancier and more typical of Japan, but same idea. I think Ami Ami sold a set of 1/6 washroom pieces a while back too: western toilet, eastern toilet, urinal, sink. Probably a niche market.

Seven Advantages of Squatting
1. Makes elimination faster, easier and more complete. This helps prevent "fecal stagnation," a prime factor in colon cancer, appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
2. Protects the nerves that control the prostate, bladder and uterus from becoming stretched and damaged.
3. Securely seals the ileocecal valve, between the colon and the small intestine. In the conventional sitting position, this valve is unsupported and often leaks during evacuation, contaminating the small intestine.
4. Relaxes the puborectalis muscle which normally chokes the rectum in order to maintain continence.
5. Uses the thighs to support the colon and prevent straining. Chronic straining on the toilet can cause hernias, diverticulosis, and pelvic organ prolapse.
6. A highly effective, non-invasive treatment for hemorrhoids, as shown by published clinical research.
7. For pregnant women, squatting avoids pressure on the uterus when using the toilet. Daily squatting helps prepare one for a more natural delivery.
