Greatest Japanese contribution to the world ?

**Maciamo** · Apr 11, 2005, 14:04

I'd like to add a few typically Japanese gadgets, like the toilets with seat-warmer and water jets, the photo stickers on a background of your choice (famous place, anime, decorations...). Well, I am not sure they were invented in Japan, but they certainly became popular there first.

I think that all the eletronic and cultural things of Japan are a contribution to the world, and some of the most attractive things about Japan (like it is to me)

According to some sources, both appeared in Japan in the 17th century for rice trading. However, futures trading at least have been used since the Antiquity in various places around the world.
