Japan’s scary toilet paper
May 25, 2009
Japanese horror story writer Koji Suzuki has teamed up with Hayashi Paper (manufacturer) to publish his latest work, “Drop”, on toilet papers.
Suzuki is famed for horror stories like “Ring” and “Dark Water” which were adapted into Japanese and Hollywood films.
Drop is set in a public restroom; the story uses up about three feet of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes. The paper roll sells for 210 yen ($2.20 USD) apiece [via Brb]
Printing on toilet papers is nothing new in Japan, but it’s probably a first for horror story. It could prove an unexpected hit with constipation a common issue among Japanese; it might just scare the shit out of the folks.
