That\u2019s what happened with poop: in Yokohama, near Tokyo, they opened a new museum about poop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not the first time we see Japanese joking or having fun with poop. That\u2019s interesting because it seems they always try to dismantle social taboos like those about toilets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the poop museum, everything about poop is funny and cute. Nothing is made of real poop, but all are colorful and playful. There, poop is in twisty ice cream and cupcake shapes; different colors and sizes. So, this museum is perfect for adults and children who can do different activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the main hall, a ceiling-high poop sculpture erupts every 30 minutes,\nspitting out little foam poops. Visitors, after a short video introduction, are\nasked to sit on one of seven colorful toilets. Music plays as a user pretends\nto poop, then a brightly colored souvenir poop&nbsp;can be collected from\ninside the toilet bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Toilets at Unko Museum\" class=\"wp-image-720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Toilets at Unko Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another room, players use a projection-mapping game like whack-a-mole&nbsp;to stamp on and squash the most poops they can. In another game, participants compete to make the biggest poop&nbsp;by shouting the word in Japanese,&nbsp;<em>unko,<\/em>&nbsp;as loudly as possible. Moreover, there\u2019s a football video game that involves using a controller to kick&nbsp;a poop into a goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-4-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Squash poop\" class=\"wp-image-728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-4-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-4-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-4-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brokenhousecompany.it\/blog\/ilsanitario\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/unko-museum-4.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Squash poop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For&nbsp;<em>Instagrammers<\/em>, you\u2019ll have the chance to have your photos taken while posing with a bunch of colorful poops in a pink setting.
