A Toto in your water closet.

Our best wedding gift came from TOTO.

Waiting for a table outside the Common Cafe in the APA Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower, Patricia whispers: “You’ve gotta see this!!!” Taking my arm like a co-conspirator in a mystery novel she pulls me through the door into a space the very definition of Shibui: spacious, simple, yet elegant. She’s drawn me into a beautiful room where I hear the soft sound of a running stream (designed to mask the sound made when even a delicate lady takes care of her “business”.  She’s discovered the wonderful world of Toto Washlets, the most hygienic way for humans to ... well ... “take care of business”.   That was our first together trip to Japan.

Is it possible that a scale was tipped at that moment?
I took her to Nara and Asuka Village on our second trip.
On our third trip, I proposed to her on a tiny island in Heian Shrine in Kyoto in three languages.
We were married under falling Cherry Blossoms at Senju Shrine in Tokyo on our fourth trip.
All those days, were experiencing the saving graces of Toto Washlets.

A short time after returning home from our Japanese Sakura Wedding, I visited a nearby Bath show room and brought home an easy to install S500e washlet for just over $1,000.

Chucke, install one of these for your wife... she’ll know that you’re a keeper for all the rest of her living days!  Imagine her loving you more each time she takes care of “business.”
Imagine her sighing: “Oh... I love that man.”

Chucke, here are locations near you.

Notes: Lunar Japan, Geisha, Shinto, Art Island

NOTES

The Lunar Japan is not hidden, but easily missed.  Looking at the Japanese flag we see the rising sun, the logo of the industrial, political, global business side of Japan, but Japan’s hidden beauty is its lunar nature, the experiences that make us yearn to return as soon as when we depart. 

The Geishas are hostesses having completed advanced classes in dance, instrumental music, poetry, calligraphy, traditional Japanese tea ceremony, and other fine and performing arts. Their education takes several years.



Shinto, no founder, no dogma, no commandments.
