@koobyn No it is spiritual but also technological issues. In Japan some of the building pads are very small. When you have real estate that small you cant just work around design flaws. Every inch, or in Japans case cm, count. When I lived there you had separate sinks and toilets. But the room for the extra basin took up a lot of footage. So they started putting wash basins on top of the toilet so you got a double use. The grey water from washing your hands now gets used twice. In most places thats not even considered, but in Japan where a significant portion of fresh water is created from salt water, which is energy demanding it matters. Some structures are torn down due to safety concerns, but those are very few and far between.

@吉嶺N true. Is post tension slab foundation being used there now as well? It's required in new constructions in several US states prone to earth quakes. I image its popular there now as well.
