amazing, what great news... akin to solving world hunger and gun violence..!
on a side note, I think the one on doors which shows you not to climb on the toilet is the most important one anyways

They aren't very clear. The first two look like the spin dry symbols on a washing machine. The bidet one has always been ridiculous.

Two of these picture grams look too suspicious for my daughter to see. they look a little bit explicit

The bidet button looks as if you can get your legs washed, too.

When they press the bidet button a song should start:
I can show you the ceiling,
Big, white and splendid,
I can make it extended
On this magic washlet ride..

The bidet in at least the modern ones will not work unless you are sitting on the toilet- they have sensors.

Thanks, I should watch that movie again.

They need a child safety lock. I remember the time my 3-year old son accidentally pressed the bidet button and nearly hit the ceiling.

Whatever happened to the 3 shells method?

Six kinds of pictograms -- showing instructions on which buttons to press when operating a high-tech Japanese toilets -- have been recognized by the International Organization for Standardization, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The pictograms, designed by a Japanese industrial body of toilet makers, include those for "strong flush," "bidet" and "raise/lower the lid."
