When we talk about Japan, it is sometimes inevitable to share twisted stories that seem almost inexplicable to Western society. This is the case with today’s note: a washing machine of humans.
It would therefore be a relatively revolutionary idea that would make showers a thing of the past. Where a huge and bulky device would be in charge of doing all the cleaning of our body, as if it were a dirty shirt inserted in a washing machine.
It is not the first time that we see the Japanese raise this kind of concepts that seem to come out of a bad comedy or a strange piece of science fiction.
Here we have the case of robot buddha who gives advice to humans on how to lead their lives more spiritually, by a hulk that doesn’t even have a soul!
Or there is also that scientific project where in Japan they have managed to convert a series of cockroaches on cyborgs to carry out inspection, surveillance and field reconnaissance tasks in high-risk areas.
So, from this perspective, the story that we share with you today should, in theory, be less disturbing. In theory…
This is the project of the washing machine for humans developed by Japan
It was the 70’s when Sanyo Electric presented his ‘Ultrasonic Bath’, the first concept of what we could now describe as a human washing machine, where the subject entered the device to activate a 15-minute cleaning process without the need to use the hands beyond pressing a button.
Now the Japanese firm Science, via Oddity Central, has developed the new Usoyaro Project, which comes to resume all the unfinished lines of that device never marketed on a large scale. Here is the new washing machine for humans:
“The goal of the Usoyaro Project is not only to thoroughly cleanse the user’s body, but also to provide a healing space where they can relax and unwind to the sound of soothing music and the sight of images displayed in a water. Resistant screen inside the machine.”
Or at least that is how Science describes the ambition of this idea, which may or may not succeed. The end result is a real mystery.
The Japanese firm has been operating in Japanese territory for some time, specializing in innovative products for bathrooms and kitchens.
Although now, technically what he did was unearth an idea that failed commercially half a century ago.
