The discussion around Japanese poop culture is quite fascinating. For instance, I attended a rather pretentious conference at an upscale hotel in the mountains, where Brian Conrad and Lars Hesselholt had specifically arranged in advance who would bring the renowned Japanese poop. Hesselholt, a Japanese professor (one of the few among non-Japanese people), seems to be the one who discovered it.

An essential aspect of this experience is the unique Japanese devices for cleansing, which are a notable alternative to toilet paper. Instead of traditional paper, many people use specialized wipers designed for this task, but they can become clogged and ineffective if not maintained properly.

Perhaps the most crucial item is the fork used for consuming this delicacy. Crafting a proper fork requires a certain expertise that is rarely found outside academic circles. Often, when a conference takes place in a hotel setting, forks are rented from far-off locations, sometimes from places as distant as Ghent is to Brussels.
