日本名古屋的初創(chuàng)企業(yè)Kokenawa公司生產(chǎn)出了全世界最小的便攜式馬桶“口袋馬桶”，在你內(nèi)急時(shí)可以救你一命。

When you gotta go, you gotta go, but what if there’s nowhere to go? We hardly ever give the humble toilet a second thought in our day-to-day lives, but most of us could hardly imagine our lives without it. In war-torn regions and areas affected by natural disasters toilets are among the most sought-after amenities, but apart from insufficient portable toilets and unhygienic latrines, there aren’t too many options. Actually, there is also the Pocketoilet, a packet measuring 7 centimeters tall and 6.5 cm wide that can fit in virtually any pocket or purse.

當(dāng)你內(nèi)急時(shí)肯定要上廁所，但如果沒有廁所怎么辦？我們?cè)谌粘Ｉ钪泻苌贂?huì)想起馬桶，但多數(shù)人都無(wú)法想象沒有馬桶的生活。在戰(zhàn)亂地區(qū)和遭受自然災(zāi)害的地區(qū)，馬桶是最急缺的便利設(shè)施，但是除了數(shù)量不足的便攜式馬桶和不衛(wèi)生的公共廁所，并沒有太多其他選擇。事實(shí)上，還有口袋馬桶可供選擇，這種馬桶包長(zhǎng)7厘米寬6.5厘米，可以裝進(jìn)幾乎任何口袋或手提包。

30-year-old Yoshinori Kokenawa, the founder of Kokenawa Inc., came up with the idea for the Pocketoilet in 2019, while volunteering in the city of Nagano which had been devasted by Typhoon Hagibis. One of the first things he noticed was the long lines of people waiting in front of conventional portable toilets.

現(xiàn)年30歲的Kokenawa公司創(chuàng)始人古手川義則2019年在遭受臺(tái)風(fēng)“海貝思”重創(chuàng)的長(zhǎng)野市做志愿者時(shí)，萌生了口袋馬桶這個(gè)創(chuàng)意。當(dāng)時(shí)他最先注意到的一件事就是在傳統(tǒng)便攜式馬桶前大排長(zhǎng)龍的人們。

"Even though people were working as fast as they could to get the area back on its feet, they had to line up 30 minutes or more every time they used the bathroom,” Kokenawa recalled. “I wanted to do something about this.”

古手川義則回憶道：“即使人們盡可能快地使用馬桶，他們每次想用馬桶也都要排隊(duì)30分鐘以上。我想做點(diǎn)事情改善這一情況?！?/p>

In December of 2020, Kokenawa’s company launched the Pocketoilet, a tiny portable toilet that can be used virtually anywhere. It consists of a bag made of special, durable fibers and a packet of coagulant. The bag can be affixed to a toilet seat or even a trash can, and tests by the company have found that almost no odor emanates from one of the bags when left indoors with feces inside it for a week.

2020年12月，古手川義則的公司推出了口袋馬桶，這種微型便攜式馬桶幾乎可以在任何地方使用。該產(chǎn)品包括一個(gè)用特殊的耐用纖維制作的袋子和一包促凝劑。這個(gè)袋子可以固定在一個(gè)馬桶座椅甚至一個(gè)垃圾桶上，該公司經(jīng)測(cè)試發(fā)現(xiàn)，裝有糞便的袋子放在室內(nèi)一周也幾乎不會(huì)散發(fā)出臭味。

"They can fit even in a woman’s makeup bag, so we hope people will carry them with ease,” Kokenawa said, adding that his company has so far sold about 50,000 Pocketoilets.

古手川義則說(shuō)：“這種馬桶甚至可以裝進(jìn)女性的化妝包，我們希望人們都能輕松攜帶?！彼a(bǔ)充道，他的公司迄今為止已經(jīng)售出了約5萬(wàn)個(gè)口袋馬桶。
