This is a picture of a traditional Japanese public toilet. Going number 1 is a sinch; going number 2 is harder. Because the "squating" position is the technique used to accomplish this mission, the need for flexibility is a must. Notice there are no hand rails for stability. Good luck.

Thank you john for sharing the experience. Can you believe we have the same toilet in Morocco. I am so excited, I have something common with Japan. Squating is a good exercise...
