Well, l gotta tell you this mystery, do u see the toilet right here? don't worry, isn't polluted, u can breath easily. And whats the mystery? that there is no water to flush and actually it does not smell as it happen in ur toilet (any objection?) ... and why l'm sharing this "nasty"thing? simple, because it has many stories just as this one: l heard that once, even in tokyo, farmers & company were passing by to each house to buy the shit, yes they were paying for it, and to recycle it through camps and fields and it was making the vegetables very good! better than cow shit. So how it works? first u see the cover made of bamboo covering the toilet then when u take it up and put it aside, so u can do the blessing body-need, never look down! u might get frightened from that huge hole ... so just go easy ... and here is the mystery, it actually doesn't smell. Because all your needs go down straight to a very big tub just under u and it stay there for long time, 1 month or 2 or even 6, depending the size of the tub, l dont know ... but it doesn't smell!!! how is it possible? l, at the first didn't want to go there to "download" but had to! then l started to like to do it there that now l miss it!!! and when l told to my father about it, because he is a little bit fanatic with ecological and recycling ways ... just like A and may be just like me too ... l feel it is beautiful to cooperate with nature ... so when l told him about this toilet, he asked me to study it! how it works and how to build one ... and for what, l asked him? because he wanted to make it one for his small mountain hut that is up there at 1300 meters with nothing around.l told him that it is more easy to make an hole somewhere outside since there is nobody around, at the most some deer or sheep can have a peep.
And nowdays, alright l didn't visit all the toilets of the world but l can say for sure that japanese toilet are the best!!! from warm seat to fart & smell killer and much more.
l looked around in the net to show u what l mean,
it wasn't easy to find a demonstration in english but this one is quite cool
and here u can see the funny commercial
and if u wanna see a more complete history of it then the place is on this page

Very interesting n very funny-cool
Will keep in mind for my house in the hills
ok the jet of water we have also in Pune ashram (Osho of course i am not so sure about any other ashram) but wow in Japan you have the super high tech 38 buttons! i can't even imagine 38 options for a toilet! the only thing i don't get is how there is no smell in that big hole!? do you have a nose?
thats why l said it is a mystery!
yeah, there was some kind of smell but very very light and not even shit smell ... l really dont know how to explain it ... may be because the tub was so deep and made in a certain way that the gas doesn't go easily up ... and A explained me that very little water is in but most important thing is do not pee ... alright u may pee while u poop but not to give a 1 liter pee inside there, because it might be possible that the mixture of these 2 elements makes the deathly smell ... may be, l'm not sure but l cannot see another explanation ... and the first thing l heard about this toilet from A was: Pee outside and shit inside.
it make sense. And my nose is even long... for japanese people my nose is really loooong ...
And what does the length of your nose, majestic though it may be, have anything to do with your sensitivity to smell?
Unless there is an air curtain perhaps .. then it may be possible that the pooper is protected from any odours
And what does your last comment, a wise thought might be, have anything to do with what l just said?
lt is just a Mystery ... the only way to find out is to go straight in that toilet and have a sniffing celebration & dancing poop (^-^)v
