‘Human washing machine’ set to make a splash at Osaka Expo

According to The Asahi Shimbun, a futuristic “human washing machine” that caused a stir at the 1970 Japan World Exposition has undergone a 21st century makeover for the Osaka Kansai Expo in April.
The original machine, exhibited by Sanyo Electric Co., now Panasonic Holdings Corp., didn’t catch on commercially.
But more than a half century later, Osaka-based showerhead maker Science Co. is developing the new version based on cutting-edge technology.
It plans to exhibit the “Mirai Ningen Sentakuki” (human washing machine of the future) inside the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion run by the Osaka prefectural and city governments.
Visitors to the exhibition site will be allowed to try it out.
The company is also planning to release a home-use edition.
