Japanese hi-tech toilet instructions

Big news!

"Japanese toilet industry agrees to standardize complex bidet controls" (The Verge, 1/17/17)

Here follows a complete transcription and translation of all the Japanese writing in the photograph.

The banner behind:

『トイレの操作ピクトグラム標準化』記者発表会 “toire no sōsa pikutoguramu hyōjunka” kishahappyōkai “Toilet Operations Pictogram Regularization” Press Conference

一般社団法人　日本レストルーム工業会 ippan shadanhōjin Nippon resutorūmu kōgyōkai Ordinary Corporation Japan Restroom Industrial Association

The banner being held, from the left:

便ふた 開閉  benfuta kaihei  Toilet lid opening and closing

Exchange with Frank Chance, who provided the translations and transcriptions:

VHM: I wasn't expecting you'd do ALL of them. My bowl runneth over.

FLC: I was just flushed with excitement over the project! Really, I was just going with the flow….

We owe a debt of gratitude to the giants of the Japan Sanitary Equipment Industry Association for unifying and explicating the iconography on the control panels of these commodious contraptions.
