After my return I was asked, if Japan really is such a modern country like you can see in so many travel reports on TV. When it comes to sanitary facilities (butt spraying toilets + dryer, infrared wash basins, etc) we really seem to live in the stone ages compared with the Japanese people. But the engineering progress does not stop at the barber shop either. Many use the so-called "Shampoo robot" (can be admired on the photo with wonderful Jenglish). You put your head in this kind of like a suction housing looking device and tiny robot arms will begin to massage your head more or less sensitive. I did this once and the whole store was concerned about me. They probably feared the reaction of a naive western barbarian. They probably expected me to dance around the thing, cursing, calling it witchcraft...
